When we do not give children 61 to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we 62 from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The 63 do. Music is an important way we express the meaning and value of peace and love. So music education is far more 64 than people seem to realize. 50. A. embarrassedly 52. A. reflects 53. A. position
