"That is not always true. Just because you have mastery of a subject does not automatically make you a good teacher"

I think it is. And that is the precise reason that college kids are taught each subject by a master of the field. I did not say that mastery makes one a good teacher. But in the case of the violin it is at least a necessary if not a sufficient condition.

In some rare cases, one who knows nothing about the violin may be a better teacher than one who knows something about it. Naturally, not all great violin players are great teachers. But I suspect that all great teachers know something about the violin...<g>

As for X...I am not available for dealing with her problems or concerns.

Da Vinci was an all time great--A top scientist (and engineer) in any day and age. (Painted pretty good, too!)
