CAMPER / TA Shares His Passion About Crystals

One of the things we often ask our campers when they introduce themselves, is when you are not playing music, what else you’d like to do. Here is one of the answers:

By Daniel B. – Violin, 2017 Camper

On February 20, 2018, he wrote “Winter Equanimity” and support his thoughts with more photos of snow crystals:

Music is a way of expressing yourself in a way that connects with the souls of others. It’s goal is to heal and bring equanimity in the most difficult times. There are many types of music. Jazz entails a world of possibility. Whenever it is played, you don’t know what will come next. Folk contains insight into cultures of people all over the globe. Other music types, such as, gospel, country, and pop, spread joy and love of life. Music is sound, silence, and time nurtured by the human spirit.

Daniel B. took photos of snow crystals on Nov. 18, 2017 at his high school.
