"I find tremendous satisfaction in helping young adults explore the body-mind-spirit connection that exists in music. Being able to approach the entire human being from a holistic view is both paramount and rewarding. Watching a young performer or teacher grow into a fuller extent of their gifts and talents is truly a joy and honor." -- Dr. Clark Roush
