Music

“Elemental music is never just music. It’s bound up with movement, dance and speech, and so it is a form of music in which one must participate, in which one is involved not as a listener but as a co-performer.” - Carl Orff

“Music enhances the education of our children by helping them to make connections and broadening the depth with which they think and feel. If we are to hope for a society of culturally literate people, music must be a vital part of our children’s education.” - Yo-Yo Ma

“When you play, never mind who listens.” - Robert Schumann

“To play a wrong note is insignificant; to play without passion is inexcusable.” - Ludwig van Beethoven

“With music, one’s whole future life is brightened. This is such a treasure in life that it helps us over many troubles and difficulties. Music is nourishment, a comforting elixir. Music multiplies all that is beautiful and of value in life.” - Zoltan Kodaly

"If children hear fine music from the day of their birth and learn to play it, they develop sensitivity, discipline and endurance. They get a beautiful heart." - Shinichi Suzuki

“Music is the shorthand of emotion.” - Leo Tolstoy

“Beethoven tells you what it’s like to be Beethoven and Mozart tells you what it’s like to be human. Bach tells you what it’s like to be the universe.” - Douglas Adams

“Music acts like a magic key, to which the most tightly closed heart opens.” - Maria Augusta von Trapp
