Hi alex100: I believe the composer and music educator (he was both) you are looking for is Zoltán Kodály. The story of this quote is told as follows: A journalist once asked Hungarian composer and music educator Zoltan Kodaly when music education should begin. Kodaly replied, "Nine months before birth." Later, he corrected himself, explaining, "It should really begin nine months before the birth of the mother." From: http://familyfun.go.com/raisingkids/preg/stages/feature/tole117music/tole117music.html You can learn more about this famous Hungarian educator at: Zoltan Kodaly - Biography http://www.kodaly.org.au/zoltan_kodaly.
