54、rom American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception（ 感知）that cannot be acquired any other way.

We n eed every possible way to discover and resp ond to our world for one simple but powerful reas on: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful inwhat they communicate as mathematical andscientific symbols.
