When elementary schools include art programs in the curriculum, children do better with math.

Music is the movement of sound to reach the soul for the education of its virtue.

Music is about communication, creativity, and cooperation, and by studying music in schools, students have the opportunity to build on these skills, enrich their lives, and experience the world from a new perspective.

One can compare art education to the solid foundation for a house—once it’s built, it will hold any shape or form you will put on it.

Music is a moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to sadness, and joy and life to everything.

Music is the electrical soil in which the spirit lives, thinks, and invents.

Some people think music is a privilege, but I think it’s essential to being human.

Music is an essential part of everything we do. Like puppetry, music has an abstract quality which speaks to a worldwide audience in a wonderful way that nourishes the soul.

I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.
