“James Keyes benefitted from learning music and his instrument at a young age, and he credits music for building his character and leading to his success. But music is a lifetime of learning. I am motivated by the great composers who wrote sometimes hundreds of years ago but continue to touch millions of people and will do so forever. Music helps me explore languages, history, art and culture. Music is self-reflection and a music instrument is a lifelong friend who never betrays you. I applaud Jim’s new book for reminding us that education truly is the most important opportunity we can offer children.”
