Mariah Carey sings music's praises
Three hot musicians - pop diva Mariah Carey, R&B newcomer India.Arie and sax player Bill Clinton
(better known for his former presidential gig) - showed their support for music education on
Tuesday (June 26).
The three were special guests at an event that celebrated VH1 Save the Music's success in improving
school music programs in Newark, N.J. "They've helped to put us on the fast track with new
instruments" Superintendent Maria Bolden told Katrillion.
Appropriately, the ceremony was held in the auditorium of one of the schools benefiting from
Save the Music's efforts. Proud staff members and excited students at Louise A. Spencer School
cheered loudly as the event's most famous speakers took the stage.
"I wouldn't have become president if it weren't for music," crowd favorite Bill Clinton said.
"Music taught me discipline and creativity... how to take initiative and how to be patient."
Mariah Carey also talked about her love of music. "(It) saved me as a child... whatever I was
going through," she said. "I thank God for music."
A tearful India.Arie was inspired to sing her yet-to-be-released song "Strength, Courage, and
Wisdom." The singer said music is the best form of self-expression. "No one could censor my
songs," she told the crowd. Besides, "I'm sitting with President Clinton because of music."
