Music gives the soul this inner self-expression, a voice. It gives the soul a sound, the sound of the Muse.

In the beginning, there was noise. Noise begat rhythm, and rhythm begat everything else.

What is the best music is impossible to define. Just because it's played by a virtuoso player, doesn't mean it's great music. It might not reflect the soul of a people, which is really my criteria for great music.

Art in the classroom not only spurs creativity, it also inspires learning.

Everywhere you look on the planet people are using drums to alter consciousness.

The point is that the arts are important enough to have influenced the greatest minds and talents we know. Albert Einstein said that if he were not a physicist, he would probably be a musician.
