If my teacher had followed your rules I would have been working on a fishing boat in Alaska today. Think about it. There are students of all different kinds. Students need support. Give everyone a chance and find out what they need to drive them forward. We all have it in us.

In a masterclass at a brass symposium back in 1997, Tony Kniffen told us:

"There's three components that we all have that determine how good you become as a musician: natural talent, intelligence and work ethic. Work ethic is the most important one."

That has always stuck with me.
