Writing about music is like dancing about architecture.
I love X-Games music.
A lot of pop music is about stealing pocket money from children.
Where words fail, music speaks.
I learned from my uncle that jazz, like symphony music, was built to last.
I wish to share and pass down some of my generation's traits, and encourage young people to create their own art, music, and literature.
In symphonic music, when you are conducting, you do the same thing. You are feeling the whole orchestra, thinking ahead so you can prepare for a change.
That by listening to some music, by reading some books, by looking at paintings, and most important by hanging out with one another - by collaborating with one another and creating your own network - you can achieve something that is much better than what is out there.
That is what I did with Jack, and that's why he liked to do the readings with me because he knew I was there for him, and for our ability to blend the poetry and the music.
When today's generation reads Jack's books or they listen to the music created by some of us, I believe that they see there is a different way of approaching today's life and today's sometimes seeming hopelessness that can provide answers.
To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we must be able to guess what will interest; we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction and vary the song.
Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven.
Sometimes a piece of music in the score isn't effective. When a score is too well finished with too many elements, sometimes it's too much.
Yeah, I've always sung, and I always try to find a way for music to be in my life.
I confess that I listen to my own music for my own pleasure.
