Don't leave music in the lone territory of the music teacher; make it a part of your instruction. In the words of Bob Marley, "Music gonna teach dem a lesson. ~ Sheryl G. Feinstein
Music Teacher quotes by Sheryl G. Feinstein
My parents being Bengali, we always had music in our house. My nani was a trained classical singer, who taught my mum, who, in turn, was my first teacher. Later I would travel almost 70 kms to the nearest town, Kota, to learn music from my guru Mahesh Sharmaji, who was also the principal of the music college there. ~ Shreya Ghoshal
Music Teacher quotes by Shreya Ghoshal
My teacher, Josef Gingold, a student of the French school, always loved the music of Saint-Saens and Henri Vieuxtemps and all the French repertoire. ~ Joshua Bell
Music Teacher quotes by Joshua Bell
My first singing role was as Susanna in a school production in a shortened form of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. I loved to sing and I was given lots of encouragement by a wonderful music teacher Mrs Ann Hill and by my parents who suggested I go to drama school. ~ Elaine Paige
Music Teacher quotes by Elaine Paige
Christine Bass was my high school music teacher. She took a program on its last legs and within a few years turned into one of the best programs in the country. Our high school dominated national choir competitions all through her 20-plus year tenure. ~ Aaron Lazar
Music Teacher quotes by Aaron Lazar
My music teacher was like, "Ester, you need to pay attention in class." I'm like, "No miss lady, 'cause I can sing." I didn't want anybody to change the way I sung. I learned by gospel CDs and by watching my momma sing; I didn't need this teacher to tell me. I wish I had, because then I would have learned how to play the damn piano or something. I would have a couple of more things under my belt if I wasn't so hard-headed. ~ Ester Dean
Music Teacher quotes by Ester Dean
I remember a moment when the Prince went back to his old school, Grammar School in Melbourne, and slightly to his horror his old music teacher produced a cello. ~ Anthony Holden
Music Teacher quotes by Anthony Holden
When I graduated from high school, the teacher said I was throwing my life away following music, and the same teacher invited me back to speak at the school. I don't say that to brag, I just want to be an example. ~ Big Sean
Music Teacher quotes by Big Sean
Music when healthy, is the teacher of perfect order, and when depraved, the teacher of perfect disorder. ~ John Ruskin
Music Teacher quotes by John Ruskin
It's quite hard to have your mom as a teacher - it's like, she's not necessarily a 'real teacher' for me. But she'd always teach me to really hear the music, and develop my ear, and to try and hear the harmonics of the piano. ~ Birdy
Music Teacher quotes by Birdy
A mediocre music teacher tells. A good music teacher explains. A superior music teacher demonstrates. A great music teacher inspires. ~ William Arthur Ward
Music Teacher quotes by William Arthur Ward
Ironically, for a few million people in the Far East, I did become an English teacher through my music. ~ Pat Boone
Music Teacher quotes by Pat Boone
My parents always knew that I loved music. They just didn't think I'd try to make it a career. They thought I'd be a painter or an art teacher or something like that. ~ Benmont Tench
Music Teacher quotes by Benmont Tench
I really think music in school is vital. Some pivotal moments in my life were my childhood scholastic experiences with music - teachers who found out I could sing, and encouraged me, or teachers who turned me on to music or bands I hadn't yet heard. ~ Dave Smalley
Music Teacher quotes by Dave Smalley
It starts innocently. Casually. You turn up at the annual spring fair full of beans, help with the raffle tickets (because the pretty red-haired music teacher asks you to) and win a bottle of whiskey (all school raffles are fixed), and, before you know where you are, you're turning up at the weekly school council meetings, organizing concerts, discussing plans for a new music department, donating funds for the rejuvenation of the water fountains - you're implicated in the school, you're involved in it. Sooner or later you stop dropping your children at the school gates. You start following them in. ~ Zadie Smith
Music Teacher quotes by Zadie Smith
When I started writing full time I had not long stopped being a teacher and when at last I had a full day to write, I would put music on and wonder to myself - am I allowed to do this? Then I thought: 'I am control of this and no one is telling me what I can do.' ~ Roddy Doyle
Music Teacher quotes by Roddy Doyle
When a music teacher that I had at school was taken ill and we had a variety show and I had to fill in - that's when I realized I had a voice. ~ Lily Allen
Music Teacher quotes by Lily Allen
The message of music was also the first thing what I learned from my first teacher. She was an organist too and she was very devoted to what she played, so she had a respect for every piece and she felt that she is not allowed to add something of her own. ~ Kurt Masur
Music Teacher quotes by Kurt Masur
If you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught. ~ Oscar Hammerstein II
Music Teacher quotes by Oscar Hammerstein II
I attended the High School of Industrial Arts and studied with many great artists as painting is something that you never stop learning about. Actually, in high school there was a time that I was thinking about just concentrating on painting and I asked my music teacher, Mr. Sondberg, for advice and he encouraged me to stick with the music as well. So all my life I have been singing and painting. ~ Tony Bennett
Music Teacher quotes by Tony Bennett
The music teacher thought I sang like a goat. It was kind of devastating. A few months after that, I participated in a music contest and won. I took my little trophy to school and rubbed it in his nose. I said to him, "What do you say now?" ~ Shakira
Music Teacher quotes by Shakira
Once I accomplish one thing and I'm satisfied, I try something else. I may be 50 and doing something totally outside of music and acting. Maybe I'll become a kindergarten teacher. ~ Kid Cudi
Music Teacher quotes by Kid Cudi
I wasn't a ballet baby. My first dance class was in an outdoor pavilion when I was three. It was called 'creative movement.' The teacher gave us chiffon scarves in beautiful colors. She turned on some music and said, 'Now go dance.' So for me, dance has always been about self-expression. ~ Carrie Ann Inaba
Music Teacher quotes by Carrie Ann Inaba
I never made it to the school choir because the music teacher didn't like my voice. I was pretty sad. But he was probably right; I did have a voice a bit like a goat, but my dad told me to never give up and to keep going, and it's paid off. ~ Shakira
Music Teacher quotes by Shakira
My father is a violinist and my mother is a pianist, so I've been hearing music all my life. I started playing at three and had my first music teacher at five. ~ Michala Petri
Music Teacher quotes by Michala Petri
Oh, stuff the critics. I don't care. Too many people are snooty about classical. Look, I wasn't brought up in a home where we listened to classical music. It was a singing teacher that thought it would be best for my voice. Then I moved into crossover. And if that makes the music accessible to more people, then great. ~ Katherine Jenkins
Music Teacher quotes by Katherine Jenkins
We had a music teacher in sixth grade, and I saw her tune her guitar. I said, 'Whoa. There's a certain way to do this.' I bought a packet of strings - some of mine were broken - and had her tune it for me. For a while, I just kept it like that. But I got the Internet finally, when I was 14, and started learning. ~ Brittany Howard
Music Teacher quotes by Brittany Howard
My mother was a very talented pianist, and she was a music teacher who hated to teach music, actually, but she loved to play, so I was brought up with Chopin, Debussy and Mozart. ~ Peter C. Doherty
Music Teacher quotes by Peter C. Doherty
I was a teacher for a long time. I taught at a community college: voice, theory, humanities. And nowadays, music education is a dying thing. Funding is being cut more and more and more. ~ Jon Secada
Music Teacher quotes by Jon Secada
It's old, very old I think. Made up long ago in our hills. What my music teacher calls a mountain air. But the words are easy and soothing, promising tomorrow will be more hopeful than this awful piece of time we call today. ~ Suzanne Collins
Music Teacher quotes by Suzanne Collins
I have a responsibility to pass on to the next generation what I learned from my teachers, ... It keeps me young and reminds me where I came from. Teaching young artists is like giving water to a flower. ~ Isaac Stern
Music Teacher quotes by Isaac Stern
At the heart of good education are those gifted, hardworking, and memorable teachers whose inspiration kindles fires that never quite go out, whose remembered encouragement is sometimes the only hard ground we stand upon, and whose very selves are the stuff of the best lessons they ever teach us. Most of us, no matter how long ago it's been, can name our kindergarten teacher. Our first music teacher. Our junior high algebra teacher. Good teachers never die. ~ Rosalie Maggio
Music Teacher quotes by Rosalie Maggio
We live in a post-authentic world, and today authenticity is a house of mirrors. It's all just what you're bringing when the lights go down. It's your teachers, your influences, and your personal history. At the end of the day, it's the power and purpose of your music that still matters. ~ Bruce Springsteen
Music Teacher quotes by Bruce Springsteen
Both of my parents are music teachers. My mother owns the school that I taught in. My brothers and sisters are musicans. My mom pushed me all the time. She knew that I could do it. She knew more than I did. She thought I would go somewhere. She gave me the job and helped me get equipment, which a lot of parents don't do. Alot of my students had to go out and fight for it. ~ Randy Rhoads
Music Teacher quotes by Randy Rhoads
My mother was a music teacher and my grandfather was a professor of music, and there was a lot of singing in the family. It wasn't like trained singing or anything like that, but it was singing. ~ Ed Droste
Music Teacher quotes by Ed Droste
I went to the Guilford School of Music and Drama, which was affiliated with the Royal Shakespeare Company. I was lucky enough to be taught by a beautiful, wonderful teacher called Patsy Rodenberg, who works a lot with the Royal Shakespeare Company as a voice coach and technician. ~ Rhys Ifans
Music Teacher quotes by Rhys Ifans
My music teacher offered twittering madrigals and something about how, in Italy, in Italy, the oranges hang on the tree. He treated me - the humiliation of it - as a soprano.
These, by contrast, are the six elements of a Sacred Harp alto: rage, darkness, motherhood, earth, malice, and sex. Once you feel it, you can always do it. You know where to go for it, though it will cost you. ~ Mary Rose O'Reilley
Music Teacher quotes by Mary Rose O'Reilley
The boyfriend of the student music teacher came in: "Hey, kids, this is a real Air Force pilot." I asked him something to the effect of how it felt to be dropping bombs on children in Vietnamese villages. And it got very icy in there all of a sudden, and finally the teacher said, "Oh, well, Eric reads a lot of newspapers. Next question." ~ Jello Biafra
Music Teacher quotes by Jello Biafra
Once I understood Bach's music, I wanted to be a concert pianist. Bach made me dedicate my life to music, and it was that teacher who introduced me to his world. ~ Nina Simone
Music Teacher quotes by Nina Simone
When you are studying jazz, the best thing to do is listen to records or listen to live music. It isn't as though you go to a teacher. You just listen as much as you can and absorb everything. ~ Carla Bley
Music Teacher quotes by Carla Bley
I walked past the lady in yellow robes and the maid bringing her a letter, past the soldier with a magnificent hat and the girl smiling at him, thinking of warm lips, brown eyes, blue eyes. Her brown eyes stopped me.
It's the painting from whose frame a girl looks out, ignoring her beefy music teacher, whose proprietary hand rests on her chair. The light is muted, winter light, but her face is bright.
I looked into her brown eyes and I recoiled. She was warning me of something-- she had looked up from her work to warn me. Her mouth was slightly open, as if she had just drawn a breath in order to say to me, "Don't!"
I moved backward, trying to get beyond the range of her urgency. But her urgency filled the corridor. "Wait," she was saying, "wait! Don't go!"

...

She had changed a lot in sixteen years. She was no longer urgent. In fact, she was sad. She was young and distracted, and her teacher was bearing down on her, trying to get her to pay attention. But she was looking out, looking for someone who would see her.
This time I read the title of the painting: Girl Interrupted at Her Music.
Interrupted at her music.- as my life had been, interrupted in the music of being seventeen, as her life had been, snatched and fixed on canvas: one moment made to stand still and to stand for all the other moments, whatever they would be or might have been. What life can recover from that?
I had something to tell her now "I see you," ~ Susanna Kaysen
Music Teacher quotes by Susanna Kaysen
Both my grandmothers had upright pianos, and I just knew how to play since I was a child. Nobody taught me. I sounded like a grown-up, and then I learned how to read music. I played so well by ear I could fool the teacher to believe I could play the notes. She'd make the mistake of playing the song once, and I could play it. ~ Valerie Simpson
Music Teacher quotes by Valerie Simpson
I like a lot of things about yoga - its an intro to good music; with each good teacher you study with, you learn a lot about them personally; it's not just about specific technique or poses. I also like Shavasana - not too many exercise routines let you nap at the end of them. You don't see nap pods in CrossFit gyms. ~ Charles Michael Davis
Music Teacher quotes by Charles Michael Davis
I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down'. ~ Bob Newhart
Music Teacher quotes by Bob Newhart
I started out as a music teacher; I never planned on becoming an actress. ~ Li Bingbing
Music Teacher quotes by Li Bingbing
When I approach a child he inspires in me two sentiments tenderness for what he is and respect for what he may become. ~ Louis Pasteur
Music Teacher quotes by Louis Pasteur
I really believe that music is the only motivation you need-regardless of genre-after that everything else you need to guide you just somehow falls in line-it's all about the beats! ~ Rickey Russell
Music Teacher quotes by Rickey Russell
There are just certain sounds, music, that sort of you know people are going to like it. ~ Willie Nelson
Music Teacher quotes by Willie Nelson
Every writing teacher gives the subliminal message, every time they teach: 'Your life counts for something.' In no other subject that I know of is that message given. ~ Roger Rosenblatt
Music Teacher quotes by Roger Rosenblatt
Reading Aloud to My Father

I chose the book haphazard
from the shelf, but with Nabokov's first
sentence I knew it wasn't the thing
to read to a dying man:
The cradle rocks above an abyss, it began,
and common sense tells us that our existence
is but a brief crack of light
between two eternities of darkness.

The words disturbed both of us immediately,
and I stopped. With music it was the same --
Chopin's Piano Concerto - he asked me
to turn it off. He ceased eating, and drank
little, while the tumors briskly appropriated
what was left of him.

But to return to the cradle rocking. I think
Nabokov had it wrong. This is the abyss.
That's why babies howl at birth,
and why the dying so often reach
for something only they can apprehend.

At the end they don't want their hands
to be under the covers, and if you should put
your hand on theirs in a tentative gesture
of solidarity, they'll pull the hand free;
and you must honor that desire,
and let them pull it free. ~ Jane Kenyon
Music Teacher quotes by Jane Kenyon
The danger in having modern music tied to a period piece is that hearing something may take you out of the moment. ~ Aldis Hodge
Music Teacher quotes by Aldis Hodge
If I let him walk away now, we'll forever be a "just"; Just hockey player and skating coach. Just music swappers. Just friends. A not-quite-almost whose time passed through as quickly as the train, fading into the distance before it even had a real chance at staying, at becoming something more, because I didn't speak up. ~ Sarah Ockler
Music Teacher quotes by Sarah Ockler
A teacher is never too smart to learn from his pupils. But while runners differ, basic principles never change. So it's a matter of fitting your current practices to fit the event and the individual. See, what's good for you might not be worth a darn for the next guy. ~ Bill Bowerman
Music Teacher quotes by Bill Bowerman
It's impossible for me to think of music as a contest. All of the awards ceremonies, I mean I'm sure they're fun for people, but they have no meaning to me. ~ Greg Brown
Music Teacher quotes by Greg Brown
There's something beautifully friendly and elevating about a bunch of guys playing music together. This wonderful little world that is unassailable. It's really teamwork, one guy supporting the others, and it's all for one purpose, and there's no flies in the ointment, for a while. And nobody conducting, it's all up to you. It's really jazz__that's the big secret. Rock and roll ain't nothing but jazz with a hard backbeat. ~ Keith Richards
Music Teacher quotes by Keith Richards
Creative powers can just as easily turn out to be destructive. It rests solely with the moral personality whether they apply themselves to good things or to bad. And if this is lacking, no teacher can supply it or take its place. ~ Carl Jung
Music Teacher quotes by Carl Jung
I'd gone from being this art student messing about with music to this girl with a record deal, magazine front covers and all this hype. In many ways, it was everything I ever wanted, but when it happened all I felt was total, paralysing fear. ~ Florence Welch
Music Teacher quotes by Florence Welch
The work of a person laboring in some humble occupation is no less relevant to the well-being of society than that of, for example, a doctor, a teacher, a monk, or a nun. All human endeavor is potentially great and noble. So long as we carry out our work with good motivation, thinking, "My work is for others," it will be of benefit to the wider community. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Music Teacher quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Games have has as much an impact on Hollywood filmmaking as MTV music videos did. ~ Bruce Feirstein
Music Teacher quotes by Bruce Feirstein
Music is like a drug, but there are no rehabilitation centres. ~ Morrissey
Music Teacher quotes by Morrissey
I think maybe chance works better in a situation like music because music exists over a period of time, and you don't maintain constantly the you can't refer back from one area to another area. ~ Robert Rauschenberg
Music Teacher quotes by Robert Rauschenberg
True country music is honesty, sincerity, and real life to the hilt. ~ Garth Brooks
Music Teacher quotes by Garth Brooks
We would miss some of the best lessons of life, if suffering did not come to us. Suffering is a great teacher. ~ Dada J. P. Vaswani
Music Teacher quotes by Dada J. P. Vaswani
Every musician, their goal in life is to play music that people love, and I've accomplished my goal. I was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and left that chapter of my life and those people in the past. Good and bad, I've loved and am thankful for that chapter. ~ Steven Adler
Music Teacher quotes by Steven Adler
Music changes, and I'm gonna change right along with it. ~ Aretha Franklin
Music Teacher quotes by Aretha Franklin
The music is at its best when people are truly digging in. ~ Gerard Cox
Music Teacher quotes by Gerard Cox
Charles and I are from Augusta, Ga. - so we come from James Brown territory, soul music and Motown. And Charles has always had a lot of Southern rock in there as well. ~ Dave Haywood
Music Teacher quotes by Dave Haywood
If I like hardcore straight-edge punk music, gentle psychedelic folk music, gangster rap, indie-rock with a lot of guitar pedals, and I find inspiration from all these things in different songs of mine, shouldn't I be allowed to make any of this kind of music that I want? And it's the same for the comic books, why should I only make autobiographical stories? Or only political stories? Or only superhero stories? Or only comedy stories? I am a bit creatively desperate, when I sit with a pen and paper I am desperate for ANY idea that makes me excited, I don't care what kind of idea it is! ~ Jeffrey Lewis
Music Teacher quotes by Jeffrey Lewis
When I recorded Contra la Puerta, I never really thought out doing the material live. Mostly because I haven't really seen any electronic music performed live in an interesting way. ~ Jim Coleman
Music Teacher quotes by Jim Coleman
I want to continue to constantly put out great music, expand further and further with the live show and music that is attracting music fans from all over the place, not only for ravers or electronic heads. ~ Skrillex
Music Teacher quotes by Skrillex
I was in a fast-food restaurant for the first time in my adult life, an enormous and garish place just around the corner from the music venue. It was mystifyingly, inexplicably busy. I wondered why humans would willingly queue at a counter to request processed food, then carry it to a table which was not even set, and then eat it from the paper? Afterward, despite having paid for it, the customer themselves are responsible for clearing away the detritus. Very strange. ~ Gail Honeyman
Music Teacher quotes by Gail Honeyman
I've started doing book reviews for Barnes & Noble! They saw that I did a lot of book reviews on the site, and they figured that it might not be a bad thing if they got me to do some for them as well. I gave them five categories I'd be interested in reviewing, from art to fiction to music. ~ David Bowie
Music Teacher quotes by David Bowie
For me, the work begins with a rough cut of the film. I can't do much with the script. I've tried to write music to a script prior to seeing the film, but I've found it turns out to be a waste of time. ~ Cliff Martinez
Music Teacher quotes by Cliff Martinez
I could sing you a thousand and one doo-wop songs. I love the simplicity in that music. It's not super-poetic, it's just from the heart. ~ Bruno Mars
Music Teacher quotes by Bruno Mars
EVOLUTION
A great parent/mentor/teacher will push you beyond their attained status ~ Kamil Ali
Music Teacher quotes by Kamil Ali
One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Music Teacher quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
You are your master. Only you have the master keys to open the inner locks. ~ Amit Ray
Music Teacher quotes by Amit Ray
Once again, Kirk Franklin takes the church beyond the traditional, transitioning his life's experiences into life lessons. Clearly there is more to this man than great music. You will feel the beat of his heart and faith. ~ T.D. Jakes
Music Teacher quotes by T.D. Jakes
I grew up in Nazareth, Penn., which was an hour and a half from New York, and an hour and a half from Philly. So bands that were touring came through one way or another. We got to see stuff people in other small towns didn't, like Wesley Willis. I couldn't have asked for a better place to grow up and be into music. ~ Daughn Gibson
Music Teacher quotes by Daughn Gibson
Music is truly the universal language, and when it is excellently expressed how deeply it moves our souls ~ David O. McKay
Music Teacher quotes by David O. McKay
I respect Snoop even aside from the music, just as a man, and especially the way he still represents who he is, after being a pop star and an icon. He's done it successfully and has still been able to balance it. ~ Nipsey Hussle
Music Teacher quotes by Nipsey Hussle
Supporting a creative artist can mean buying their books, music, art, movie, and photographs or just shouting out their name. ~ Chris Mentillo
Music Teacher quotes by Chris Mentillo
You know when I'm down to my socks it's time for business
That's why they're called business socks
It's business, it's business time ~ Flight Of The Conchords
Music Teacher quotes by Flight Of The Conchords
