Drums

“Life is about rhythm. We vibrate, our hearts pumping blood, we are a rhythm machine, that’s what we are”

by Mickey Hart

Vocals

“I don’t make music for eyes, I make music for ears”
by Adele

Acoustic Guitar

“One day you pick up the guitar and you feel like a great master, and the next day you feel like a fool.
It’s because we’re different every day,
but guitar is always the same…beautiful”
by Tommy Emmanuel

Electric Guitar

I play the guitar because I like it, not because I’m bad it. There’s no perfect music, but there is good music.

Bass Guitar (New)

None of us wanted to be the bass player. In our minds he was the fat guy who always played at the back.

by Paul McCartney

Ukulele

“There is no ego when you play ukulele.”
by Jake Shimabukuro

Contemporary Piano

“When you play, never mind who listening to you.”
by Robert Schumann

Your best teacher is your ear, so listen and listen, you will find the music you love.

Classical Piano

“Just love what you are doing, and try to play more.”
by Lang Lang

Violin

"If you take a violin, you can make it sound 50 different ways. Not just pizzicato and played by the bow, but ponticello, and harmonics, and tremolos. If you take an oboe and play it, there`s about one way you can make it sound: like an oboe."
by John Corigliano

Band

“Works of arts make rules;
rules do not make works of arts”
by Claude Debussy

Band requires dedication, planning and communicating. What are the outcomes are, just enjoy music together.

Cutie Pies

The fact that children can make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music can make beautiful children.
by Cheryl Lavender
