-- Bizet, letter to Edmond Galabert, quoted in W Dean, Bizet (1975)

About Me
Ms. Silverstein-Tapp's Philosophy of Music Education
I believe that it is every child's right to learn and understand how to create, perform, listen and respond to music. It is every teacher's responsibility to bestow these ideas upon their students. I feel that music educators can give the gift of teaching all students, and allowing each one to experience the joys of music to the fullest, regardless of racial or ethnic background, religion, age, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status.
