The subject of this revue aims to help our young charges learn early in life that what we think and how we speak can affect the quality of our lives and the lives of others. The best tools we can provide for children, other than a solid academic education, are more abstract. They include things like building character - honesty, manners, decency, etc. These are all things that come from within. They are things that can be taught, mostly by example, but also by discussion and reinforcement, which is where music can help. From the pages of Music K-8 magazine, Volume 22
