Mean Music Teachers Might as Well Work at Walmart

A great teacher helps each student internalize discipline, learning, training, and organization based on his or her own rhythm and only “pushes” when needed in a gentle, sweet manner.

My music teacher was really mean so I gave up early. Now, I understand that he was “pushing” me based on his own life-frustrations when I was a child and he the supposed adult.

A teacher is suppose to be like an “Officer and a Gentleman” where one trains the student to be one’s superior.

In the end, his loss – he lost his life to his own frustrations, and I gained my life by recognizing my talents for myself.

Cheers,
