My block flute teacher is one of the most important people in my life. She taught me for twelve years. I love her very much because she not only taught me the skill of playing music, but also made me become an outgoing and a brave girl. I was really shy and afraid to stand on the stage when I was a child. However, she gave me many chances to perform and enroll in any type of music competition. She always told me that the most important thing was not to win first place in competition, but to learn from the experience.
She hoped that I would enjoy every moment I played music and not lose my initial passion for the thing I loved. She deeply impacted my outlook. Therefore I would like to become an intelligent teacher like her in the future.
