If you've got a talent, protect it.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
You never know what motivates you.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Leap, and the net will appear.
Who seeks shall find.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Know or listen to those who know.
I think it is most important for a teacher to play the pieces and studies that are being played by the student.
