Does music have to be pretty? Dr. John Prescott doesn’t think so.

June 14, 2017 by Nicki Donnelson

Congratulations to Dr. John Prescott! His work is being featured in the university’s 2017 edition of Mind’s Eye.

Here’s a sneak peek at the story:

Do you consider yourself to be creative? If you said no, you may want to reconsider, Dr. John Prescott said.

“I think everybody is creative to some degree, whether they’re creating artistic products or finding new ways to be an accountant or a building contractor,” said Prescott, professor of music at Missouri State University.

“Creativity is part of the human persona,” he said. “People will say, ‘Well, I’m not creative.’ They just aren’t realizing that creativity lies in a lot of directions, not just the arts.”

Hear his moving 9/11 tribute in the video below.
