The Best Things a Teacher Ever Said to Me

Allen Kofsky
"You know, we're lucky. Whenever people at the [Cleveland] Orchestra gripe, I point outside the window to the construction workers on Euclid Avenue and say 'You know, we could have to do THAT for a living, but we don't. We make a better living doing only this. We have it lucky.'"

Has a teacher ever said something that made a big impression on you? Perhaps it was an insight that helped your playing or motivated you to work harder. The words of a good teacher can have a profound impact.
