More quotes by Itzhak Perlman
I do three things. I do teaching, I do conducting and I do playing. And each one of those sort of helps the other.

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.
Itzhak Perlman
I'm now doing three things: concerts, conducting, and teaching, and they each support each other. I learn to see things from different perspectives and listen with different ears. The most important thing that you need to do is really listen.

One of the great challenges is to know when things are not right.
Itzhak Perlman
Perhaps our task in this shaky, fast-changing, bewildering world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
Itzhak Perlman
If you play something well, I don't care what it is. I mean, I don't play an electric [violin] - I tried. It's actually interesting.
Itzhak Perlman
You decide to be a musician, you have to put in the time.
