"One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations."
~John Coltrane
"When we approach love and creativity with the level of conviction that the powers-that-be in the world today are approaching hatred and destruction, then and only then will we have a chance."
~Marianne Williamson
"I started to think about using music as an instrument of change. Through music, we changed our reality."
~Anderson Sa of
AfroReggae / Favela Rising
"Parents, put your children in art! There is an identity theft going on in this country now, and I'm not talking about credit cards ~ I'm talking about the psyche. One way to alleviate that is through art."
~ Alonzo King
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.”
~ Jimi Hendrix

~ Anonymous
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent."
~Victor Hugo
"To meet our energy challenge requires the most important energy of all ~ human creativity. That's the real prize."
~Daniel Yergin
"Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius."
~Mozart
“If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. I get the most joy in life out of music.”
~Albert Einstein
Q: "Who interprets the divinity in nature for us today? Who are our shamans? Who interprets unseen things for us?" ~Bill Moyers

"Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything."
~Plato
"A valuable lesson I've learned from making music is to never let anyone intimidate me. Every student, celebrity, CEO and math teacher in the world has experienced love, loneliness, fear and embarassment at some point. To understand this is to level an often very lopsided playing field."
~Anna Nalick
"Patience is a virtue, life is a waiting game. Peace must be nurtured, and all the money in the world can buy you nothing."
~Corinne Bailey Rae
"There's been a time for war, a time for strife, a time set aside for everything under the sun. We must now set aside a time for love."
~Stevie Wonder

~Herbie Hancock
"This music heals people because music is vibration, and the proper vibration heals."
~Wynton Marsalis
"To understand the heart and soul of music, to earn the right to hear it, you must respect and honor the culture that creates it."
~Mickey Hart on ethnomusicology
"Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and by studying music in school, students have the opportunity to build on theses skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective."
~Bill Clinton
"I believe that the day will come when all God's children, from bass black to treble white, will be significant on the constitution's keyboards."
~Martin Luther King, Jr.
San Francisco, 1956
"Life can be a pretty tough session to work on, but I'm grateful to my employer for getting me the gig." ~Brett Myers
"Art is an alchemical technology. It must be used positively to impact personal transformation, human transformation, and planetary transformation."
~ Phoenix & Arabeth

~Burning Man T-shirt

Go up on the roof at night
in this city of the soul.
Let everyone climb on their roofs
and sing their notes!
Sing loud!"

Music in Schools Today's Blurbs |
About me:
Music in Schools Today is a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that has been promoting music education in public schools and youth centers in low income neighborhoods since 1983. We believe that music nurtures the human spirit, promotes personal development, and is central to learning and the creative process. Music and the arts are as essential to a well-rounded education as literacy, math and science. Music, both in and out of the classroom, promotes physical well-being and social understanding and helps build bridges within local and global communities.
Mission Statement:
A San Francisco Bay Area non-profit organization with national impact, Music in Schools Today (MuST) advocates for, supports and develops integrated, accessible, sustainable and measurable music-in-education programs that improve student achievement.

~ Other non-profit organizations, particularly those that are improving their communities through arts and music education and programs.
