What is right? How do morals affect people and society in which we live? Does everyone have specific morals by which they try to live their life? How does someone realize what their morals are? What are morals? These questions cannot be truthfully answered because everyone has their own definition of what is right and what is wrong and how one should live their life.

On a Treble clef, the line that it wraps around will always be G. When you look at a note that’s anywhere along that line, it’s always a G. Now, with the Base cleft it’s…

Unexpected Lessons: (Things I Learned for No Reason in Band) "What you learn today, for no reason at all, will help you discover all the wonderful secrets of tomorrow."
