Know what the repertoire is and developmental methods

Knowing that not everyone progresses at the same rate

Not only my high school instructor, but the two instructors
I worked with here at Temple, Glenn Steel and Alan Able
were all very positive people and, you know,

and you know, improve, and just build forward
with your skillset.
