Music Is One Of The Ways We

One Of The Marks Of A Great Teacher Lies Not Only In An Ability To Impart Knowledge But Also In Knowing When To Encourage A Student To Go Off On His Own.

I Think The Purpose Of A Piece Of Music Is Significant When It Actually Lives In Somebody Else. A Composer Puts Down A Code, And A Performer Can Activate The Code In Somebody Else. Once It Lives In Somebody Else, It Can Live In Others As Well.

As A Child, You Respond Physically, Tactically. You're Delighted By Sound, You're Delighted By Recognizing Something. It's Like Hide And Seek. Is It There? Is It Not There? Is It This Note? Is It Not This Note? It's One Fantastic Game.

Music Has Always Been Transnational; People Pick Up Whatever Interests Them, And Certainly A Lot Of Classical Music Has Absorbed Influences From All Over The World.

The Worst Thing You Can Do Is Say To Yourself, "i Want To Be Just Like Somebody Else." You Have To Absorb Knowledge From Someone Else, But Ultimately You Have To Find Your Own Voice.
