 “If you ever thought that there should be an institution in Nashville to help preserve traditional country music, and to help teach it to the public and future generations, well there is. It’s called The Nashville School of Traditional Country Music, and not only does it offer music education classes for young and old alike, it also happens to help support many of the traditional country artists in Nashville trying to keep the music alive.” - Saving Country Music

“Because art is not valued as a necessity in America, we all struggle really hard just to even put [our music] out and have it be heard or seen,” explains Watson. “I want to make sure that all of our teachers get paid an actual living wage to teach. I don’t think music is extracurricular; I think it’s necessary for the human soul, and I want to make sure that the people who have spent thousands of hours learning how to play it, and then are kind enough to pass it along, are also taken care of.” - from The Bluegrass Situation
