Notable Quotes:

“If it is true that there is a dynamism in conflict then music education today is approaching its most dynamic moment. Everywhere there is confrontation that challenges us to reassess our accomplishments, to reinterpret our role, to reformulate our causes, to revitalize, our energies, and to reconstitute our profession.”
