When opening "New Classical" playlists, I mutter: "Where are today’s sounds?" This isn’t just a playlist issue, it’s systemic. If classical music only preserves the past, it risks losing the future. #ClassicalMusic #SystemsChange #MusicEd #Futurism #Leadership #Sustainability #Engagement #Advocacy

Music is one of the most powerful forces in the universe. It has the ability to allow the soul of a human being to create something that has never before existed. This is the power of music. The power to heal, to remember, to honor, and to bless the world. 🙏🏻 #JoyTrain #hope #healing #musiced

If all the music notation in the world disappeared and there were no sheets, no staff, no tab or anything, how would your practice as a music teacher change?
