“This may sound insulting to some of my cult studies friends, but there's a lot of cult studies people who ignore, shall we say, the wider canvas - because they simply don't know about its existence or they don't know how it operates.” PeopleKnowsMaySoundExistenceKnow HowStudyCanvasCultInsulting Author:Peter York

“I am obsessed by the idea of silence. I went through an entire library studying art, artists and their critics, philosophers, too, on the meaning and significance of the color white. I dreamed of white birds and white bears. I thought about the white pages of my mother's journals. I became enthralled with John Cage and his work, 4'33”, his masterpiece of ambient sound.

“Casals says music fills him with the wonder of life and the 'incredible marvel' of being a human. Ives says it expands his mind and challenges him to be a true individual.

Studying music and the arts elevates children's education, expands students' horizons, and teaches them to appreciate the wonder of life.” MindHumansChildrenArtIndividualCausesSoundChallengesWonderTeachStudyStudentsAppreciateIncrediblesHorizonEnrichingGood CausesWonder Of LifeStudying Music Author:Richard Riley
