“ As a composer seeking to remain anonymous I am shy of confessing my musical activity. This is intelligible enough. For others it is their chief business, the occupation and aim of life. For me it is a relaxation, a pastime which distracts me from my principal business, my professorship. I love my profession and my science. I love the Academy and my pupils, male and female, because to direct the work of young people, one must be close to them. Alexander Borodin Composer
“ The most consistent musical experience I had growing up was church music. Amy Grant Singer-Songwriter
“ I have a fantastic studio in my home, and it's my biggest toy. I have about a half a million dollars worth of musical equipment in my house. Antonio Banderas Film Actor
“ You can be born into a musical family and have an ear for music but being technically gifted, be it playing an instrument or songwriting, takes years to get good at.
