"The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done." (Jean Piaget, 1896-1980)
"Elemental music is never just music. It's bound up with movement, dance and speech, and so it is a form of music in which one must participate, in which one is involved not as a listener but as a co-performer." (Carl Orff, 1895-1982)
"And I would advise my young colleagues, the composers of symphonies, to drop in sometimes at the kindergarten, too. It is there that it is decided whether there will be anybody to understand their works in twenty years' time." (Zoltan Kodaly, 1882-1967)
“Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable" (Leonard Bernstein, 1918-1990)

"One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child." (Maria Montessori, 1870-1952)
"La música es el arte más efímero que existe. No la puedes atrapar. Incluso al escuchar un disco, cuando se ha terminado, queda en tu memoria. En ese sentido la música es el arte de la memoria por excelencia. Por eso es tan importante que en la interpretación de la música haya emoción, belleza e intensidad. Si hay un arte que no puede tener un museo es la música. Ésta es siempre viva." (Jordi Savall)
"Honesty comes only with sound health, physically and psychologically, and an honest mind cannot be separated from the most genuine acknowledgment of expression. It should be recognized that pure perfection is unobtainable. Therefore, the realization that one's irrevocable faults and deficiencies must be faced, guides us toward the first step of learning. We must each accept any situation as it actually is, with dignity. In that fine balance of acceptance of self and the mission to better oneself, compassion, humility, and discipline are nurtured." (Midori Goto)
"Creativity is as important now in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status" (Sir Ken Robinson 1950-2020)

"It is far more important that someone plays music for which they feel a special affinity and have something individual to say than mere technical perfection. Perfection is in itself limited – the message should take us beyond perfection" (Gidon Kremer)

"The way we talk to our children becomes their inner voice" (Peggy O'Mara)
