Tony and Susan … out supporting arts students
I can’t imagine how excited the students at Wagner High School on Staten Island must have been today! I really admire Tony and Susan for their dedication to arts education in the public schools.

Tony and Susan on Arts Education and Optimism
Tony Bennett and Susan Benedetto did an interview on CNN about the students at the Frank Sinatra School of the Arts and the relationship with The Gap this Christmas.
As someone who studied drama and music in high school, I cannot agree more about the value of arts education to encourage success in students. I learned so many of the lessons I needed to succeed in life in my high school arts education: how to create as part of a team as well as on my own; how you have to practice and then practice some more because nothing comes that easily; how you are just one part of the group and it’s up to everyone in the group to help everyone succeed; and how be responsible and do what you say you’re going to do — be on time, be prepared with your own stuff, and to be ready to help others succeed. Even though I now work in the business world, I follow these guidelines every day in my work relationships and am much better person because of my early arts education.
Tony Bennett Interview
I came across this wonderful interview on YouTube; Tony Bennett being interviewed by Malcolm Gerrie. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. It is a bit long, but I promise it’s worth your time.
