And the best thing about today?

I'm working with my new students on how to shift with ease and security, and to stay mentally calm and focused rather than panicking and grabbing for the next note. In a lesson today, one of them was starting to really get it. And that's what is great about teaching: passing on the great things one's learned, seeing them take hold, knowing they'll make a difference, and that the generation just learning them now will pass them on, hopefully improving on them, and that the process will continue forever.
