My Cousin Big Pete

Peter L. Monzures

November 3, 1946 - November 21, 2007

I just wanted to stop and reflect a little on one life that meant so much to me. Did you ever have a Cousin that was your friend? When we were little, we would just run around and be free. San Diego was a great meeting place for us, whether we were small and little or all grown up!
Now, my Cousin Peter is truly free! Stay close to family, share the hugs, smile w/ the stories, laugh out loud and record it all. It goes by so quickly, this one special life.

Why Study Music?

My main mission is for the advancement of music education by encouraging the study and making of music. One of my endeavors is to compile facts/quotes demonstrating the importance of music in our present culture. The benefits of music education are as follows:

SUCCESS IN SOCIETY
SUCCESS IN SCHOOL
SUCCESS IN DEVELOPING INTELLIGENCE
SUCCESS IN LIFE

Studying music encourages self-discipline and diligence, traits that carry over into intellectual pursuits and that lead to effective study and work habits. An association of music and math has, in fact, long been noted. Creating and performing music promotes self expression and provides self gratification while giving pleasure to others.
