Divine Music Teacher
Being a teacher you have to learn to go at the right pace for each student.
This takes calmly seeing the student exactly where they are right now!
It also takes a keen, perceptive (and experienced) eye… In other words, knowing the path and how to walk it, along with the ability to see exactly where someone else is on the path; and know how to guide them each step of the way!
In training a student, you have to know when to push them and when to give them their space; otherwise you will suffocate them and they may rightly choose to walk away.
You must be perceptive to your student. You cannot wholly teach out of ego. There must be a balance. For this, you need to have genuine interest and care about people!
It’s great to see people grow into music, but they also need to flourish as a person! Being too strict can also squash their spirit, and I’m all about uplifting your spirit so you can grow as a person and have an amazing life!
Transmitting the Divine
There is also a much deeper aspect to music…
Music is something that is at one with all of existence (inner and outer… and transcends even that!).
Music is Divine.
So as a teacher, you are a transmitter of the Divine!
Otherwise, you are just staying on the surface and teaching out of ego.
In India, a teacher is called a guru, and is seen as one who is transmitting the divine to their student. Thus, a student will touch their guru’s feet, as a way of showing respect. (Obviously not necessary in guitar lessons 😋🤣)
Pictured above is Yogi Guru Paramahansa Yogananda.
As a side note, I highly recommend his book, Autobiography of a Yogi.
