Music doesn't really require whether the person's a young person or old person for whatever kind of music it is.

Music is a thing that changes people's lives. It has the capacity to make young people's lives better.

I think it's awesome to see people of all different ages from all kinds of backgrounds come together for the love of music.

I think there is great interest amongst the younger people in this music. I think that there is a lot of them that are looking for interesting situations and music that is stimulating.

I think music needs to be presented in a way so that kids can grasp songs, dances, simple music that's associated with some particular defining moment in human experience.

I believe we should encourage children to sing and play instruments from an early age.

I think everyone should feel like they can make music, they can create music.

In the music world, ageism is a big issue. It's about youth and youth culture. There's no other art form that I know that requires you to be a certain age.

Music, which should pulsate with life, needs new means of expression, and science alone can infuse it with youthful vigor.

From being a teacher and educator, I see the state of the music through the eyes of an 18-year-old coming on to the scene, and we want to make sure it stays intact. With my generation, it's our duty to do that.
