Teaching is, of course, important because we players have got much to hand down and to tell, and we can be links of a precious chain.
As Alexis Weissenberg said in “I Like Music”:
you don’t live for music, you live in music.
And I keep telling my students, as they feel inadequate when they tackle the great repertoire after listening to great interpreter’s renditions, there are big and small stars, but all of them shine the same joyful light.
