The break down for kids is communication. Music helps bring that bond.

I think there are so many ways to become interested in music. I believe signs of sustained interest gives a sense of the right time. Music, if thought of as a language, would perhaps indicate that as early as possible is not so bad. I do believe that a really nurturing first teacher that makes the child love something is crucial.

The music I always liked as a kid was stuff I could bum out to and realize, 'Hey, someone else feels that way, too.' So if someone can do that with my music, it's mission accomplished.

Some children's music is aimed just at kids, and it can be very childlike.

I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education.

Music is like the genius of humankind, universal... People who have never really taken the time to get into music, their lives are a lot smaller. Kids deserve the richness and dimension of it in their lives.

Music is an element that should be part and parcel of every child's life via the education system.

The whole thing about rock music, pop music, is it's really for kids.

I'm a huge fan of music in schools and music education because that's how I grew up.

Just to know that someone who's 15 years old is listening to my music and the work that I've done - it's definitely a blessing.
