Discover Your Talent Within

The power of music is this: It can take you somewhere else. The right kind of music can uplift you, inspire you, transport you to a better sphere.

But the principle of music is this: Creating the sounds that can move you takes time, commitment, effort. There are no shortcuts.

"There is no instant gratification in music," says Dan Whitley. "You can't just pick up an instrument and play. It may take years before you see the payback for your work. You can't cheat at music."

That's important for kids just starting out to know; it's important for their parents to know; and it's an especially important message for the inmates at the Utah State Prison enrolled in a program called Con-Quest to know.

Con-Quest is a program for drug offenders, and Whitley has been working with them for the past year or so, teaching both the enjoyment music brings and the effort it requires.
