It develops skill, while fostering understanding; it provides information and preserves meaning; it supplies facts and seeks knowledge. Such a study insures respect for the legacy of tradition and yet fosters the desire for the adventure of discovery. Two ingredients are essential to an institution dedicated to these aims: A professionally active faculty capable of serving as mentor and exemplar and a program of study to which the faculty is totally committed. I am proud to say that these are abundantly represented at the Philadelphia Musical Academy.
