From the beginning, I knew intuitively that if nothing else, music was safe, and that nobody could tell me anything about it. Music didn't need a middleman, whereas all the other things in school needed some kind of explanation.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was 15, I did not know nothing about what concerned the world of music.
If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.
I didn't start playing music really until I was 18/19, so it was a relatively new thing. I didn't play much music in school.
Music is an element that should be part and parcel of every child's life via the education system.
Music is such an incredible tool for kids in general. They learn discipline; they learn how to express themselves. You learn math. You learn language. It's the ideal teaching tool, and that's why it's mind-boggling when any school superintendent decides that music is something we can kind of do without.
Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.
Growing up, music was an important part of my childhood. I see it being just as important in my children and all children's growth and development, and in a parent's connection with their children.
Music is more than just listening to it. People use the music for them protection at times.
I think music needs danger; it needs risk.
To me, rock music was never meant to be safe. I think there needs to be an element of intrigue, mystery, subversiveness. Your parents should hate it.
