Where is it written that only high school and college students …

Music is the purest form of art... therefore true poets, they who are seers, seek to express the universe in terms of music... The singer has everything within him. The notes come out from his very life. They are not materials gathered from outside. ~ Rabindranath Tagore Music is truly one of the most expressive art forms, which has an celestial appeal.
