"Why do we teach music? Not because we expect uou to major in music. Not
because we expect uou to play and singall uour life. Not so uou can relax.
but... so uou will be human. So uou will recognize beauty. So uou will be more
sensitive. So uou will have somethingto clingto. So uou will have more love,
more compassion, moregentleness, moregood, in short, more life. Ofwhat
value will it be to make a prosperous livingunless uou know how to live? That is
why we teach."
