In my teaching practice, I have come to realize that kids come to music lessons for a variety of reasons. The best students are the motivated students with strong parental support and a desire to improve. With almost 100% success I can show these students that if they practice they will get tangibly better in a very short period of time. There is NO DOUBT that practice pays off, there are no natural-born virtuosos.
