Especially number 5. Be sensitive to what's possible with each student.
Teaching is so rewarding; it is truly a joy to see the look in the eye when a student "gets it" for the first time and when they are finally able to do something they've been working on for an extended period of time. In my case I had a beginning euphonium player that had serious difficulty matching pitches at the beginning of the year who won the award for most promising at the end of the year awards banquet.
