Re: Who's your most important teacher?

This is a good thread. I've always thought my job as a teacher of young people is giving them the right thing to work on at the right time. Just enough to push them out of their comfort zone but not so much that they get frustrated. As teachers I think we can be effective by showing students how to go about playing and guiding them down the right path but, ultimately, they have to do the work to put it all together.
