A received an email to day that was fantastic.

I found out a former student of mine, from four years ago, was still playing and doing quite well. My last year with him, he got first chair in the Florida All-State band for middle schools. Well, this is his senior year and he played the Hindemith Sonata (1st. Mvmt.) and did quite well from the judges score card. I couldn't believe he played the Hindemith! Furthermore, he is planning on majoring in music composition.

He hadn't really been taking lessons since I left the area as they found it hard to get another teacher. I'm sure he kept at the piano, and he was becoming a pretty good guitarist when I moved.

The best gift you can give any student is inspiration and motivation. The rest is up to them.
