Music enriches people's lives regardless of their age and occupation. Our youngest student is 3.5 years old, and our oldest is 87! Among our students, there are CEOs and nurses, engineers and CPAs, store clerks and entrepreneurs, programmers and housewives, retirees, and college students. If you ask them this question you will get many different but very passionate answers with one common theme - music is life. It is not surprising that adults are vocal about the role of music in their lives. But when eleven years old express the same feeling in a poem - it is something special! I would like to share the poem and the drawing by Aaron Weiner, an eleven-year-old student of our Academy.
