Music/Education Quotes
“All of one’s life is music
if one touches the notes rightly and in tune.”-John
Ruskin
“The whole problem can be
stated quite simply by asking, ‘Is there a meaning to
music?’ My answer would be, ‘Yes.’ And ‘can you state in
so many words what the meaning is?’ My answer to that would
be, ‘no.’” -Aaron Copland
"Music produces a kind of pleasure which
human nature cannot do without." -Confucius
“A concert is like a
bullfight—a moment of truth.” -Arthur
Rubenstein
“I was born with God-given
gifts of very talented musical ability and exceptional
physical coordination. I always needed prodding to practice
piano, violin, cornet or French horn. I had to be pulled
away from any athletic participation. Now, at 63, I look
back on my athletic feats – All-American, All-Pro
Quarterback, College and Pro Football Halls of Fame – and I
can honestly say I would trade these all if I had been smart
enough to pursue my musical career. YOUNG PEOPLE – don’t
make the same mistake.” -Otto Graham, Jr., former
professional football player and coach
“I must study politics and
war that my sons have liberty to study mathematics and
philosophy…in order to give their children a right to study
painting, poetry, and music." -John Adams, 2nd President of the United States
“Music is the universal
language of mankind.”
-Henry
Wadsworth Longfellow
"Since music has much to do
with the molding of character, it is necessary that we teach
it to our children." -Aristotle
“Music is a primary condition
of the human experience. In the history of man on earth,
many civilizations have been identified that could not read,
write, or calculate. None have been discovered that did not
make music.” -Eugene Corporation
