Beginner's Luck Is Great For Beginners.

I Recommend My Students Not To Be Professional Unless They Really Have To Be. I Tell Them, 'if You Love Music, Sell Hoovers Or Be A Plumber. Do Something Useful With Your Life.'

If An Apprentice Does Not Hear What A Master Hears, Is Then That Quality Not Present In The Music? Yes And No. In The World In Which The Apprentice Lives No.

A Mistake Is Always Forgivable, Rarely Excusable And Always Unacceptable.

The Only Reward The Musician Receives Is Music: The Privilege Of Standing In The Presence Of Music When It Leans Over And Takes Us Into Its Confidence. As It Is For The Audience. In This Moment Everything Else Is Irrelevant And Without Power. For Those In Music, This Is The Moment When Life Becomes Real.

My Life As A Professional Musician Is A Joyless Exercise In Futility.
