Delight.

It's when you see the look of delight on a student's face, upon accomplishing something he or she thought was impossible, that really encourages the teacher or mentor.

It's also when you walk with the student through a part or portion of his or her life through music, that the music created suddenly means something. More.

It's when a student walks away feeling something good about life that gives us sweet delight in music learning.

Music is precious. And life is good.
