Music Pill Angst Reliever
When I think of threading the needle, and because I’m a guy, my mind shifts to football and basketball, not so much the beautiful fluffy works of sewing various cloths together. Regardless of genre, threading the needle requires perfection in moving something through a difficult obstacle and coming out neatly on the other side. The internet calls “to thread the needle” a verb, to find harmony or strike a balance between conflicting forces, interests, etc., and normally is used to indicate difficulty of doing so; also, sarcastically, for a failed attempt.

Innovation in Place of Standardization
"Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent," said Victor Hugo. This speaks for Clive Wearing, a English musician and musicologist in his mid-forties, who suffered a devastating brain infection—herpes encephalitis—which reduced his memory span to only a few seconds. He was featured in a BBC documentary in 1986 by Jonathan Miller titled, Prisoner of Consciousness. Renowned author, Oliver Sack, wrote Clive's wife, Deborah, post illness until he finally went to meet him face to face in the summer of 2005. He was astounded to find that the anticipated man writhing in agony was in fact, a bubbly conversationalist brimming with warmth. How you ask? Music. He was taken off the hard drugs that dulled his senses and was immersed in classical piano, "The structure of the piece, he was held, as if the staves were tramlines and there was only one way to go. He knew exactly where he was because in every phrase there is context implied, by rhythm, key, melody...When the music stopped Clive fell through to the lost place" (209 Musicophilia). This is a man who couldn't remember a passed moment, yet he knew a score through and through. This is the power of music. Music offers a plethora of psychological, emotional, and physical benefits to people of all ages. Despite this, music programs are being cut across the country because of a lack of understanding that music pays for itself. The lack of funding due to a myopic to budget constraints, misappropriation of importance, and disregard for music education needs to be rectified.
