“Children are the future of America,” he says. “We must invest in them for our future.”

“Kids have a real hunger to learn. They are so saturated and inundated with rock, rap and country music, but with little or nothing of the beauty and dignity of classical music. I’m on a crusade to introduce them to this unique and powerful art form.”   - - -  Peter Simon

A champion of music education, Peter Simon has been guest speaker for numerous civic and social organizations on "the Importance of Music Education in Schools & Everyday Life".
