Re: Who's your most important teacher?

Hi,
Thanks for the positive feed back. Sometimes when I'm teaching and in the middle of what I think is a wonderful and meaningful story I look over at the student and they are quite clearly on the beach in Mexico having a nice cold drink in their minds. So thank you for the reassurance about my story telling.
Tatakata--I think that I get better at teaching myself the older I get. One of my favorite saying lately is that if you aren't getting better you're getting worse. Staying at the same level is not a good option for us because while we may be staying level, someone else is getting better and they're passing us. That can be in auditioning, teaching, gigging etc. So I hope that I will continue to get better at learning for the rest of my career and beyond.
Thanks again!
Andrew
