"I believe that all the arts, and especially music, are necessary for a full life. The practical side of living of course is important, and this, i feel sure is well taught in your school: such things teach you how to make a living. But music will enable you to see past facts to the very essence of things in a way which science cannot do. The arts are the means by which we can look through the magic casements and see what lies beyond."

Vaughan Williams, former JAGS music master
