Music is a life tool for me. I use it to think of the future, reflect on the past, and add color to my world when life gets dreary. I use it to motivate myself, I use it to be brought into a different era, a different place, a different perspective. Music gives me an advantage in life, and I don't see myself being nearly as happy without it. - Haley A.

I think music is a language that everybody in the world knows. I think that the virtual meets with the orchestra is really useful because it helped me and my brother learn more duets and play in front of an "audience. - Owen S., viola

Music means a lot to me. It's something that affects you and the listener in many ways. It embraces your inner self and brings out your creativity. Music is something beautiful that affects many people in a special way. - Serenah, violin
