More quotes by Itzhak Perlman
Nothing is better for my playing than teaching because when you teach, you have to think and you have to listen what other people do. And then all of a sudden, you play yourself and then you say, my goodness, I don't need a teacher. I'm my own teacher. Then I can react to what I'm doing immediately. It really improves.

Preparing for a future in music is an expensive proposition.
Itzhak Perlman
I'm just a one-instrument player. I have been known to play a blender, but I basically play - just play the violin.
Itzhak Perlman
Same thing with harmonies. If you hear something that harmonically is interesting, express it. So that's what I'm saying about talking the music rather than just playing through.

Itzhak Perlman
The thing is that what you try to do when you play is you try to play not below a certain level. In other words, it can be a special day where it would be phenomenal, but if it's not below a certain level, that's the goal. You know, that's what you want to do. That's why you practice and so on.
Itzhak Perlman
The most important thing to do is really listen.
