<< I should point out that there are indeed exceptions...>>

I should also point out the very notable exception . . . cornetist and 
vocalist Bob Schulz, who was my band director for both junior high and high school.

One reason why he gained my respect and I paid close attention to him was the 
fact that the cat could really play . . . and sing. AND he applied those 
talents to real paying gigs.

I hate being taught by someone who has never done.

Always learn from someone who is SUCCESSFUL at what they are teaching . . . 
not just successful AT teaching. And yes, it's best to have someone who's 
successful at both.
