…an exploration of hip-hop’s creation may be a good source of inspiration for anyone interested in fostering an innovation-rich environment.

"…our biggest challenge as modern educators is to encourage students who love music socially, but are completely disengaged in the music classroom.The problem with music education and education in general, I find, has always been a lack of student engagement."
Neil Johnston, Managing Director of Store Van Music in “From ivories to iPads: This is noot your parents’ music class.”
