“Why do I teach music?
Not because I expect you to major in music.
Not because I expect you to play all your life.
But so you will be human.
So you will recognize beauty.
So you will be sensitive.
So you will have something to cling to.
So you will have more love, more compassion, more gentleness, more good,
in short, more life.
Of what value will it be to make a prosperous living unless you know how to live?
That is why I teach music.”
