"My aim in teaching...is to give children a sense of joy in experiencing one of the most beautiful and spiritually enriching things we have in the world, which is music. I do not wish to turn all of my students into professional musicians -- but to use music to develop their sensitivity as human beings. Music can open a child's heart and give him a finer appreciation of life."

"Every living soul seeks kindness, love, warmth and safety. If through music, we can give the soul of a child one of these, this is reason for being."

Dr Shinichi Suzuki
1898 - 1998
