The music majors have just finished intervals and are moving onto chords and figured bass notation. For those that have survived, they now see all the elements of music theroy they have been fighting coming together. In fact, as they begin writing music in four parts (like four singers at the same time) they see it all happening. One of my students sees it all now and says "it was worth it" to get here.
I celebrate his success but know that he now has very few people with whom to share this new found knowledge.
The more you know the fewer people around with whom you can share. Having a twin brother and going through this process and beyond I was lucky.
I guess everyone needs a friend in learning.
