There is no complete spiritual life without music, for the human soul has regions which can be illuminated only by music.

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.

There is no complete spiritual life without music, for the human soul has regions which can be illuminated only by music.

To teach a child an instrument without first giving him preparatory training and without developing singing, reading and dictating to the highest level along with the playing is to build upon sand.

Let us take our children seriously! Everything else follows from this...only the best is good enough for a child.

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