"Teach music and singing at school in such a way that it is not a torture but a joy for the pupil; instill a thirst for finer music in him, a thirst which will last for a lifetime.  Music must not be approached from its intellectual, rational side, nor should it be conveyed to the child as a system of algebraic symbols, or as the secret writing of a language with which he has no connection.  The way should be paved for direct intuition. .....  Often a single experience will open the young soul to music for a whole lifetime.  This experience cannot be left to chance..." (Zoltán Kodály, 1929)
