Feel Good Friday...Songs for Your Soul

Feel Good Friday...Songs for Your Soul

I played music in school…Trombone to be exact…all through school, even in college a bit. I have music playing almost all the time. Music has been critical to so many memories and just informs my life in many ways. If I would not have had the opportunity to learn to play, my life would be poorer right now. Music opened my brain up in so many ways. The dedication to practice, working together with a group united toward a common goal, creating a something new and beautiful all provided opportunities for learning things not afforded by reading, writing, and arithmetic. We need music and other arts in our schools. Education should be about how to learn, about garnering the ability to reason and deduce, about making choices that affect you, about personal power and empowerment. Music provides so much more than just the notes on a page…

Enjoy this video, I did…
