Our age of mechanization leads along a road ending with man himself as a machine. Only the spirit of singing can save us from this fate.

It is our firm conviction that mankind will live the happier when it has learned to live with music more worthily. Whoever works to promote this end, in one way or another, has not lived in vain.

Often a single experience will open the young soul to music for a whole lifetime

Music is nourishment, and a comforting elixir. Music multiplies the beauty of life and all its values.

Teach music and singing at school in such a way that it is not a torture but a joy for the pupil; instill a thirst for finer music in him, a thirst which will last for a lifetime.

The laws of morals and the laws of music are the same

Real art is one of the most powerful forces in the rise of mankind, and he who renders it accessible to as many people as possible is a benefactor of humanity.
