Why music?
“Innovation lies at the center of industrial success, and creativity may
well be America’s ultimate economic resource:
It is the creative act that generates the new knowledge that fuels the
information economy. At the core of this new economy is the buying
and selling of new ideas, inventions, styles and techniques…Only
creativity can conjure up a substitute which turns lead into gold,
sand into silicon chips or a first novel into billions in book, movie,
T-shirts, toys, records, tapes and other ancillary sales and royalties.”
“America must relearn, as have Japan and Europe, what our
forebears knew: an appropriate balance between art and science is
essential for competiveness, particularly in an increasingly global
and polycultural marketplace. “
