"...piano lessons can give children a false first impression: that music is something you mostly practice at home by yourself. It’s more valuable to be introduced to music by joining the school chorus, where children learn that music can be a joyous, collective endeavor, with all the voices dependent on one another. If you have this experience early enough, it tends to take hold for life."
--Anthony Tommasini

"Music is a language that communicates what we cannot always say in words; it assures us of our interconnection." 
​--Sujatha Fernandes
