Never to forget that the main reason why we choose to become a musician is because of the joy it brings. It should always be about the joy of making music, not about fame or money, both are in short supply anyway. Keep working hard, remember that there is not just ‘one right way’ and trust that you will find yours.

Reza Safinia, composer
If people heard the power of classical music played at this tuning they would feel something much deeper in their gut rather than perceiving it as intellectual music, that would probably help draw more people in.
Susan Bullock, soprano
Success to me is going on to a stage knowing that I am totally prepared: I have put the work in and come off at the end of the performance knowing that I did my absolute best on that day.
