The Music Student: Trials & Joys

There's a teacher who posts videos of her students on Youtube who goes by the name "BelCantoV". I subscribe to her video posts.

At first one tries and does not succeed, but if one is willing to persist and remain patient the joy of music and the thoughtfulness of its great artists will gradually unfold. Or, as BelCantoV puts it, "Everyone can see how hard we try and how many passions in music we have...". That sounds like Yoda to me, but at this moment I'll buy it.
