"Some people think music education is a privilege, but I think it's essential to being human."
- Jewel

Learning Quotes

"The only person who is educated is the one who has learned how to learn and change."
- Carl Rogers

- Hannah More

"Learning is what most adults will do for a living in the 21st century."
- Perelman

- Richard Bach
