I shall admit that I struggled a lot when learning how to play. There were days that I felt like giving up, but the little voice in my head kept telling me to keep going. It was also the voice of my own teacher who helped me out. If it was not for him giving me the extra push, I'd be lost. That is what I would like to pass on to my students; the mentality to never give up. Another key thing is to have fun, regardless of the style of music and technique a student wants to learn. Music is the language of the human spirit.
