...who takes you at each lesson as you are that day (there are days when beginner shakuhachi players can't get a note out of the flute)....
I had to smile, Bruce, when I read that line. There are many lessons where I completely loose it in the middle of a tune. Just the sound of "wind rushing through the trees"! :-) I record my lessons, and it never fails to amaze me how often I think that I'm not making a sound. Yet, when I play back my recording, I can hear my weak tone playing along, only it's being overwhelmed by the strength of my teachers blowing. When you're blowing in tune with your teacher, it's easy for your sound to blend into his.
Cheers,
Brian
