"I believe that training students to be musicians is more important than training them to be just harpists. It's not enough to merely play well. You have to be a master of your craft, your art form, not just your instrument. It's only when you achieve that level that you can truly have no fear, because you truly have knowledge."
—Anne Sullivan
