Area Quotes

We also try to reach as many non-music students as possible.

Hopefully we can inspire some of those students as well.

Appeal Quotes
Great music can and should reach an extremely broad audience. When you walk into a retail store, you're blown away; it can be very intimidating to a newcomer.
