The quality and performance of a PRIMA orchestra of are tied to the ability of musicians to join efforts, without imposition, humbly adding one's performance to the efforts of others. The same applies to society at large, with citizens respectfully offering their participation to others with humility and support, without being forced to do so.

At PRIMA, orchestral solos are sometimes difficult or the solo musician misses a note. It is up to a good colleague to not play faster during a friend's difficult solo, and to understand if a colleague is encountering difficulties. In society, everyone goes through difficult situations at one time or another. It is up to good citizens to offer support where needed, from the proverbial aid the elderly with shopping or services, or to help a colleague with difficulties in school.

Orchestral musicians regularly find musical inspiration in their own colleagues, even if they do not play the same instrument or are seated far away from each other in the orchestra. Also, even for optimists, it is easy to see how an undue criticism, or the failure to recognize people's good work to society cause unnecessary friction and takes away the credit owed to people who make a difference in our lives.

In music performance, "wrong notes" chase the patience and dedication of musician. Each note deserves its due attention, its way of being played, its perfect rhythmic stability. When that doesn't happen, there is a feeling of inadequacy on the part of the musician, who then embarks on a quest for a perfect adhesion of all notes to their expectation and performance. In society, the "wrong notes" also surround us. They are small waste garbage in the streets, misplaced words to strangers, and small inconsistencies that almost pass unnoticed, but leave behind a veneer of contempt inconsistent with the dream society we all would like to live in.

The spoken and written language has limitations in expressing the complexity of emotions. The use of rhythm, timbre and sound frequencies in a variety of music styles provides a means of active communication on a deep level of humor and emotion. The benefits for a heterogeneous society, or one that constantly faces difficult questions, or insoluble ones, are obvious.

Regardless of talent (in itself a complex definition), orchestral work raises personal challenges at various levels, emotional, physical and psychological. The conclusion of a concert develops camaraderie, bringing people together who have gone through this challenge as a team. Society earns value when there are people there who strongly believe in the challenges and victories they have in common, however impossible these may have seemed at some point, and leave in their memory a vivid recollection of having gone through this experience.

When they sit in the orchestra to play music, musicians experience a separation of everyday life, a state of inner peace and serenity. Our society promotes a variety of entertainment and momentary departures from the everyday worries, but few options offer quite what music making can do to temporarily lift a person from their surroundings, enabling high emotional senses without involving spirituality, sports or physical experiences.

Few qualities are quite as necessary in today's society and in schools than personal discipline. At PRIMA, some activities only reach their final goal after days, weeks, or months of diligent work. This final goal is achieved only due to the dedication and discipline of each of the musicians involved. In order for young people to achieve their goals in society in the mid-to-long term they also need to exercise discipline, just as they learned at PRIMA.
