Dear President, I'd like to express my wish as a lifelong music teacher and performer to consider a concerted effort to support music education for children and adults and support for public performance opportunities for audiences to hear new music works. I feel that music is a healing force in the world and gives many opportunities for understanding learning new viewpoints and opening ones' mind. I think we need a concerted effort for funding whether it be music lessons, live concerts and other unique efforts of brinigng creative music people that we may not have come up with yet. I truly appreciate you taking the time to read this. Sincerely, Alex Candelaria New York City
