I think it keeps your brain moving faster, singing in another language.
I didn't sing, but I did play the drums.
Basically speaking, conducting is quite a healthy profession.
I love playing the guitar.
I play piano every day.
It's good to see more young people playing instruments.
I'm always doing something musically - when I'm working or when I'm off.
Oh, I just love playing music.
Singing is a very sensual activity! You engage in it with all your senses and your heart.
I play the piano.
At school, I enjoyed playing the bassoon. I was in the orchestra and played the melody when the other boys sang hymns at prayers time.
All I do is sit at home and play guitar. That's seriously what I do.
So I suppose that means we can actually play the instruments.
But I feel music has a very important role in ritual activity, and that being able to join in musical activity, along with dancing, could have been necessary at a very early stage of human culture.
That was more or less coincidental in the sense that my parents wanted me to come back to New York because that's the center of musical activity still to this day, more or less, and so I auditioned for the Metropolitan Opera.
