Patricia Hoy digs deeply into her experiences as a performer, conductor, and arts administrator to share her wisdom and unique perspective about the thinking and creative consciousness that can come from making music and art. In our rushed, confusing, and complicated 21st century lives, people everywhere are trying to find their way in a world that is unlike anything they have ever experienced. Educators, parents, and leaders in our schools, communities, family units, and churches are searching for ways to succeed in this dramatically shifting environment. We seem to stumble forward amid endless conflicts, buffeted around by the continually shifting cure-alls that come forward only to break down time after time. Through all of this chaos, we tend to overlook a positive and powerful element that can transform our lives and awaken our inner knowing to achieve a happier and more fulfilling life. Patricia Hoy shares real life stories that uncover the natural, beautiful, and deep body of knowledge that can come from making music and art, reminding us of the limitless options for creativity in everything we do.



Arts Awareness offers a fresh perspective and new ways for everyone to reach out, to interact, and to share their inner spirit with the world. Music advocacy organizations along with arts advocacy groups will discover new ways to promote the value of the arts. Teachers will find new ways of engaging students and the community in understanding the deep values of art as well as music study and teaching. Parents will find ways to help their children succeed in a world that is unlike anything they themselves have experienced. Leaders and administrators will discover the possibilities for guiding others in the ever-evolving complexity of organizational life. Arts Awareness unlocks the mystery of an artistic mindset and reveals its power to help us thrive.
