I Think Of A Piece Of Music

My Involvement In The Political Arena Is To Make Sure There's A Place For Culture.

I Think There Are So Many Ways To Become Interested In Music. I Believe Signs Of Sustained Interest Gives A Sense Of The Right Time. Music, If Thought Of As A Language, Would Perhaps Indicate That As Early As Possible Is Not So Bad. I Do Believe That A Really Nurturing First Teacher That Makes The Child Love Something Is Crucial.

I Think Of A Piece Of Music As Something That Comes Alive When It Is Being Performed, And I Feel That My Role In The Transmission Of Music Is To Be Its Best Advocate At That Moment.

But An Innovation, To Grow Organically From Within, Has To Be Based On An Intact Tradition, So Our Idea Is To Bring Together Musicians Who Represent All These Traditions, In Workshops, Festivals, And Concerts, To See How We Can Connect With Each Other In Music.

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.
