We've had so much fun sharing why we're Thankful for music, School of Rock, and our instructors this month. We'll keep up the daily gratitude posts through the end of November. 

Read on below for just a few of the heartwarming quotes we've gathered this month: 

Why are you thankful for music?

avery t., vox & keys, Performance program:

"I'm thankful for music because it gives me an opportunity to express myself."

john f., guitar, rock 101:

"Because I think it really helps people. It can help them express their feelings, but instead of just telling someone, you can say it in song."

bella J-R., Bass, performance program:

"Well, without music there wouldn't be any joy in the world, no happiness, and music makes you relax and everything."

why are you thankful for school of rock?
