Teachers open the door but you must enter by yourself

Chinese Proverb

A quote to ponder as the new academic year starts in the UK.

How much of a student’s musical journey do you believe lies with the teacher and how much with the student? How much responsibility for their learning is in our hands and how much is in theirs?

On a less serious note (no pun intended!), a friend pointed out that this is not only an inspirational quote, but is also sound advice for social distancing right now! He has a point 🙂
