Jack Stamp - Why Music Matters

Jack Stamp giving one of the best examples of exactly why music education is so important and belongs in our schools

Just for the record- I do NOT participate in any profit sharing on this video, despite YouTube's repeated requests for me to do so. All because I uploaded it does not give me the right to make money off of Dr Stamp's speech. It's his work, not mine. Besides, music is supposed to be about sharing, anyway.

Music is the best thing I have ever done. I play alto sax in the Hudson middle school jazz band (in Hudson Florida) and we play 50-60 performances a year. it helps me with academics and in just about everything you could think of. please don't cut band!!!!!  - Melissa the band geek

I teach PE and though our subjects are in direct competition for student time, even I know how extremely valuable quality music education is.

My old high school worked with Jack Stamp once (sadly after I graduated, but luckily got to have a workshop with Eric Whitacre before then) but this does really hit the point that music does have a big positive impact on people. It gives students the opportunity to create something beautiful and also to challenge them. I had the privilege to play university level pieces like Molly on the Shore, Incantation and Dance, Colonial Song and Gallimaufry that really challenged me and was rewarding.

I am so lucky to have been conducted by Dr. Stamp this weekend at my Regions concert. He is an amazing, and hilarious, man. Sooooooo happy i met him!! He may not have learned my name like he did most everyone else's but he made such an impact on my life!

[Kelly Snyder]

Dr. Stamp is an amazing and inspiring man. I'm proud to call him one of my professors.
