"Music saved my life." That's how Laura Hamel describes the immeasurable impact of music on her life. Growing up in a rural, low-income region of Vermont, Hamel watched many of her teenage peers succumb to drugs, violence, and delinquency. Surrounded by destructive influences, she might have wound up in trouble herself if it wasn't for the unexpected gift of a silver flute. The flute, given to her by a family friend, became Hamel's escape from the negative environment around her. She dedicated herself to her music, channeling her ambition into its delicate melody. It gave her purpose and inspiration. "It gave me something positive to focus on," says Hamel.
