Isaac Stern is 80 and looking to teach. “What I can do best and what I think is most worthwhile is teaching the players how to think. I teach them how to listen to themselves and be honest, so they can become independent and go as far as their talent can take them, which is usually farther than they’ve gone at the time that they come to me. The main direction is teaching them not how you play, but why. Why do you want to be a musician?” – Los Angeles Times
