Notable Quotes:

“My message to you is that the Music Educators National Conference is your—our organization, and that you---we—are responsible for change. We can accept this responsibility, or we can let it go by default.”

“My own definition of change would be: Change is a response on the part of a person or group of persons, however organized, to altered conditions.”
