Quote from Moacir Santo when asked, "What message would you like to send youngsters who are interested in music careers?"

"First; work intensively towards your objective.  Second; have humility in your heart, because that is the only way that the fairy godmothers whom reign in the musical universe will get close to you, and try to be in tune with nature, observe nature's things, like the flowers and the animals, try to listen to its sounds, when they are emitted, some do not have sounds, but the 5 senses can perceive, like the flower, with its beauty, and its aroma, and so on. Pay lots of attention to all sounds (especially the sound of men and animals) that you hear to transform them into music." ~ Moacir Santos
