Patience !


Patience is a virtue every student and teacher needs to have. It takes time to learn an instrument, and patience will make the process easier for both the student and teacher. A student will most often become impatient while learning a song because he can't play it very well yet. A teacher will most often become impatient and frustrated because it is taking a student longer to understand a particular concept.
 
Both teacher and student need improvement in their exercise of patience. A teacher must learn that different students learn at different speeds and will struggle with different concepts. An impatient student must learn that most accomplishments are only achieved by hard work and a great investment of time. This lesson in patience will effect the rest of both a student's and teacher's endeavors.

Smile!

A smile from their teacher can mean a great deal to music students, and make a difference in the way they respond to  instruction. In the same way, a student can make a difference in their teacher's day by wearing a smile and having a willing attitude to learn.
 
So smile, even when your having a bad day, teacher and student wills are clashing, and your patience is wearing thin. Smile!
