“A great teacher is one who realizes that he himself is also a student and whose goal is not to dictate the answers, but to stimulate his students creativity enough so that they can go out and find the answers themselves.”

— Herbie Hancock

A reader sent me this amusing story:

I taught a beginning keyboard group experience for 4-5 years olds – before anything was on the market – at a local community center.  I had 5 preschoolers per class and we got to know each other very well in the small sessions.  

I was at the local mall and my student Jennifer was there with her mom.  I caught her tugging on her mom’s arm and asking, “Why is Miss Patti here? Doesn’t she stay and live at school with the keyboards?”  

I chuckled to myself not only because it was so cute, but wondered “who” released me out of the music room.

“I have my own particular sorrows, loves, delights; and you have yours. But sorrow, gladness, yearning, hope, love, belong to all of us, in all times and in all places. Music is the only means whereby we feel these emotions in their universality.”
