“A master can tell you what he expects of you. A teacher, though, awakens your own expectations.” – Patricia Neal
On this episode, we honor the teachers, those who had a strong influence on the musicians and composers featured. Teachers are so often in the background, guiding us along the way, never taking center stage, and sometimes unaware of the depths of their impact.
