We live in a society where art and music often get dismissed as "nice to haves" and "extras".

Have a read and see if this doesn't move you even though we of the Tubent already understand the criticality:

Well put, and echoing the arguments (though much more lucidly) that I give my wife (flute prof) when she dispairs that she's "not making any significant contribution" to life...

Karl Paulnack is the new Dean here at the Ithaca College School of Music...needless to say, we are very excited to have him!
