"Information without inspiration is useless." - Dwight Keith "The heart has a thousand strings that can only be played with love." Hafiz "My choice early in life was either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference.  I, for one, believe the piano player job to be much more honorable than current politicians." - President Harry Truman "Where words fail, music speaks." - Hans Christian Anderson "Music touches places in the soul that words will never reach" "Teaching is not a science; it is an art. If teaching were a science there would be a best way of teaching and everyone would have to teach like that. Since teaching is not a science, there is great latitude and much possibility for personal differences." - From The Goals of Mathematical Education by George Polya (circa 1969) "At a reverent performance of music, God is always at hand with his gracious presence." - Johann Sebastian Bach, The Fifth Evangelist. "I would teach children music, physics, and philosophy: but most importantly music, for in the patterns of music and all the arts are the keys of learning.” - Plato "GOOD teachers are costly; BAD teachers cost even more.”
