"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original."
Benjamin Zander: "On music and passion"

"It's one of the characteristics of a leader that he not doubt for one moment the capacity of the people he's leading to realize whatever he's dreaming."
Dr. Jack Stamp: "Why Music Matters"
"Music demands perfection. Now, we don't always get there, in fact, seldom do we get there. But it's the one few things in [students'] lives that demands that they be perfect."
TED-Ed: How playing an instrument benefits your brain
"It turns out that while listening to music engages the brain in some pretty interesting activities, playing an instrument is the brain's equivalent of a full-body workout."
