Hi Joe, great music, I really enjoyed it, I have a Dissociative Disorder, and am a Creative Healing Educator, looking at Creativity and it's healing effects, I have largely recovered from it, altho not totally, I love to sing and identify with what you are saying about music. I am sorry you had that experience with the teacher. Love Mrs. Lou Ross-Johns
