"One can practice accuracy and execution with every attack, release, turning of phrase, scale, excerpt, every sound that is produced. Correct and accurate execution is a state in which we live. A state that must become a constant, rather than an exception or the benefit of fortune. We don't need projects to find and exist in that state. We need rather to become accustomed to doing everything that we do each day within that state of grace that we call accuracy. It begins with the first sound we make each day, and ends with the last. It is the land in which we need to exist to do justice to the miracle that is music."

​- George Sakakeeny
