Music education should not be promoted as a way to ‘preserve a tradition’, or as a vague ‘contributor to social cohesion’. Its importance (as well as the obvious emotional importance of music) lies in how it nurtures creativity in an increasingly fragmented yet globalized society.
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up” - Pablo Picasso
