I had a friend who had been teaching music for a long time, and he knew a bunch of teachers, so I just put up the money and started a school.

Education, for me, has helped me in my music.

Music is not a very stable business. It comes and it goes, and so does money, but your education stays with you for the rest of your life. When you have that education, and you have nothing to fall back on, you can get a get a job anywhere.

High school music teachers... nobody makes a living off it.

I would like to teach music. It's weird the way they teach music in schools like Julliard these days.

I still picture myself as a student of the music. I'm always trying to learn new things. Music is just what makes me tick.

Both of my parents are actually music teachers.

I have always been involved in my school's music program.

I literally left school and went straight into music via art college for a year, and I've been so involved in my job of writing songs that the more actively involved part became channeled into standing on the stage and saying things that way.

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