SATURDAY THOUGHTS: ELLIS MARSALIS





“I always say “The Arts” rather than “Music”. 
I don’t think Music is a stand-alone thing. 
If they implement The Arts as a part of their educational philosophy, then it could be the best of times...
Most of the time, I have to end up telling the students, 
“You have to practice the instrument. If you’re going to speak the language or write it, you have to know what the alphabet symbolizes.” ~Ellis Louis Marsalis, Jr.
