Notable Quotes:
We are being called upon to assume roles not as mere teacher/musician specialists but as multidimensional educators. Any or all of us may be called upon to assume these larger roles regardless of how cozily isolated and comfortable –or uncomfortable-we currently are.
Our
knowledge, our insights into musical behavior, and our resources cannot go
untended, unrevitalized, or unstretched.
Each of us must gain the capability to meet the challenges of music
education in changing social and instructional settings.
Charles H.
Benner
