Mr. Mancini had a singular talent for making me uncomfortable. He forced me to consider things Id rather not think about the sex of my guitar, for instance. If I honestly wanted to put my hands on a woman, would that automatically mean I could play? Gretchens teacher never told her to think of her piano as a boy. Neither did Lisas flute teacher, though in that case the analogy was obvious. On the off chance that sexual desire was all it took, I steered clear of Lisas instrument, fearing that I might be labeled a prodigy.
