What was (is?) your (insert musical instrument here) teacher like?

Guitar: Mine had flowing locks of grey hair, tried to convince me that Poison by Alice Cooper was one of the greatest songs ever written (I ended up listening to that track so many times to try and understand what I was missing) and by the end of our time together was just transcribing whatever song I had recently heard and decided I wanted to learn to play. Found this video of him online recently: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SDYqZmE9cU

Piano: The guy smelled so bad. My parents got a deal where if he gave lessons to me & my brothers one after another then my mam cooked him dinner that it'd be £12 for the session. He lived alone and was part of an orchestra. Couldn't stand the fact that I kept playing by ear and not paying enough attention to the sheet music.
