I’m working with my new students on how to shift with ease and security, and to stay mentally calm and focused rather than panicking and grabbing for the next note. In a lesson today, one of them was starting to really get it. And that’s what is great about teaching: passing on the great things one’s learned, seeing them take hold, knowing they’ll make a difference, and that the generation just learning them now will pass them on, hopefully improving on them, and that the process will continue forever.
