Children learn to smile from their parents.
Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited.
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.
Perhaps it is music that will save the world.
If a musician wants to become a finer artist, he must first become a finer person.
Music exists for the purpose of growing an admirable heart.
I am mentally preparing myself for the five-year-old mind. I want to come down to their physical limitations and up to their sense of wonder and awe.
Music is the language of the heart without words.
Any child can be developed, it depends on how you do it.
Talent is no accident of birth. In today’s society a good many people seem to have the idea that if one is born without talent, there is nothing he can do about it; they simply resign themselves to what they consider to be their fate.
I play with children so that I can learn from them.
Knowledge is not skill. Knowledge plus ten thousand times is skill.
What is man’s ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty.
