"Raising children to find rhythm, and live a life that is whole, is empowering to families and communities. If we, as parents and institutions, can enrich our children's lives through music and the arts, we can set the stage for a new generation that feel connected to each other, and strong in their sense of identity and purpose."
- Jessica Phillips-Silver
