Dr. Adkins believes that music is one of the core expressions of our humanity. He goes on to say, "Teaching music is a task that is always important because students are being given something that makes their lives better. Armed with the knowledge of the details of the musical experience, students are able to find the expressive qualities that make the music experience both personal and rewarding."
