For students at a very young age - in the first couple years, it is so
important to do this - play for them and demonstrate a great concept of
playing as well as some good concepts in terms of phrasing, etc. That you
practice with this concept in mind is wonderful!

Keep up your good work - you will undoubtedly have better students than
most because of your dedication to that end.

Sincerely,
Roger Garrett
