Music was born in the mind of God long before Heaven was created. It was the final analysis of things to come. Man and creation are products of real music. The harmony of the universe is apparent in all that is seen. It is an art that cannot be destroyed. Not all children in music will become famous musicians but will, because of music, be better men and women in the future. The duty of our public schools is to aid in the production of happy and efficient citizens, responsible, dependable and ready to take their place in the leadership of their future. Democracy gives all equal opportunity. It is there for the boys and girls. It is their right to study music even though financially unable to buy instruments. We try to give training to all children. Those who are talented develop quickly and are encouraged to pursue their studies. Sometimes they become our future artists, but more often they become our future citizens, able to live with their fellow men and able to lead productive, useful lives. These students even become our teachers of tomorrow, and those who expect to teach in the schools should be given all the special training needed as in any vocation. Our schools should provide musical experiences for all. We know that many of the emotional needs of the growing boy and girl are met through physical and mental participation in music. It is our challenge as educators to see that that experience is the kind really needed, as the teacher fashions the mold to which the child eventually responds. The educators must give the best if they want the best. It is in our power to build the taste and the standards of the future, either to mediocrity or the finest in the arts. It isn't the great number we have, it is what we do with the number we do have. It isn't the new material we order, it is how we handle and use what we have. We are like a potter with clay. We help develop the child into the character desired. Watch-that we mold truly the uptness that is needed. a is that things worth having have to be bought by real Paderew.ski once said that all of the genius he had .

This belief should be the all pervading influence for each of us no matter what area or level of music we teach. Without it our search for quality has failed.
