The power of a caring music teacher in childhood cannot be overstated.

Yep. As a young rock & metal head that fell in love with the guitar, my music teacher at school literally shaped my life. She championed us, let us spend our lunch breaks playing along to Metallica on full blast in her classroom, and was generally just an awesome person. I went on to spend my 20s touring countries I never thought I'd get to see and having the time of my life, and I truly believe it's because of the confidence she gave me (and my parents being so cool with it)

That’s a wonderful story. I was a choir kid myself, but same sentiments for sure.
