GREAT MUSIC THOUGHTS

"I wish I would have stayed with piano!"

-- Thomas S. Monson

I've never known a musician who regretted being one. Whatever deceptions life may have in store for you, music itself is not going to let you down.
--Virgil Thomson

Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul.

Music isn't just learning notes and playing them, You learn notes to play to the music of your soul.
Katie Greenwood

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
Berthold Auerbach
