Peter M Davies quotes

Peter M Davies
" I'm afraid that once I start talking, I become quite passionate about these things. "

Peter M Davies
" I'm not actually teaching any more, but I am writing pieces for schools all the time, and for kids. "

Peter M Davies
" I'm very interested, for instance, in music in education - getting young people not only to listen to, but participate in the music that I write. I consider this one of the most vital aspects of my work. "
