Teaching

A teacher must give thought to and develop experience for a wide variety of issues:

students are not alike and should not be treated alike
a teacher must study a student to determine musicianship, playing, and personality
student potentials and hindrances must be understood
encouragement and building of self-confidence must be carefully planned
building self-confidence too soon is almost as dangerous as not building it
building a student's technical ability must be balanced with building interpretive capability
early youth is the time when technical ability grows fastest
teacher should be conscientious, patient, and even-tempered
