I do see an older student on occasion, but the majority of the students in my class are first and second-year music majors; ages 18-20 and primarily freshman and sophomores. I'm still a Lecturer (teaching professor that has not yet attained tenure), so I have to teach a number of lower-level prerequisite courses that the tenured faculty won't touch. Overall, however, I find that the number of students with your attitude towards education is pretty small, even among the so-called 'dedicated' students.
