Frank,

I never doubted it for a minute--It is hard to get everything said in the right order and perspective in internet posts, and the written word is not really the best way to convey ideas about teaching music anyway--

As to teaching, I haven't done much teaching for a few years. Partly from other committments, and partly because I haven't found a good place to do it. I miss it, though, and, one way or another, plan to get back to it in time.

As to my teaching--my students generally seemed pleased, and, , I was pleased with the progress that I was able to make with them.
