• "Music is a defining element of character."  ~ Plato

• "Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn.                                                                          They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art." - Charlie Parker                                                                    

• "To study music, we must learn the rules. To create music, we must break them."       - Nadia Boulanger

• "Music is nothing separate from me. It is me... You'd have to remove the music surgically. "    -- Ray Charles
