"Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other (for education) because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace, and making the soul of him who is rightly educated graceful, or of him who is ill-educated ungraceful." -Plato
Use what talent you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except those that sang best. --Henry Van Dyke

All our talents increase in the using, and every faculty both good and bad, strengthens by exercise. --Anne Bronte
