"Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Wisdom is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents." Ludwig van Beethoven Eddie is a passionate supporter of the introduction and presence of music curricula in schools. Eddie has teamed with EdisonLearning, a company aimed at assisting teachers and communities to improve public schools and boost student performance. With Eddie's leadership, the company has entered the preliminary stages of designing a music curriculum to be implemented into its schools in the near future.
At the request of EdisonLearning, Eddie composed and produced a song entitled "Power of Youth" (subsequently renamed "Power of You"), which incorporated EdisonLearning's eight core values: Wisdom, Justice, Courage, Compassion, Hope, Respect, Responsibility and Integrity.
