I have always been involved in my school's music program.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a huge fan of music in schools and music education because that's how I grew up.
I grew up in a school that had a big music program, and it was incredible. It's what I looked forward to during the day. I had chorus, strings, band.
I have visited schools that have music programs and those that don't. I see the way the kids act with each other.
I went to school and studied music for a year at USC, which unlocked a bunch of doors for me in terms of my relationship to music.
So many schools are getting rid of music programs and it's really sad because I know that when I started singing and stuff it was something that I always wanted to do and I never believed in myself to be able to do it.
Both of my parents are actually music teachers.
I've always been in music. I started out in music, and I will continue to do music.
My main focus is to help people through music.
My musical education started in the limelight, because I found myself surrounded by real musicians, but after my career had taken off.
I literally left school and went straight into music via art college for a year, and I've been so involved in my job of writing songs that the more actively involved part became channeled into standing on the stage and saying things that way.
