Keller teaches Paul more about life than music.

Paul needed Keller; he needed him to bring him back from his world of self satisfaction. Keller thought of him as arrogant, he said that “the boy (Paul) is too given to self satisfaction. The self satisfaction go no further.” Keller tries to give Paul what he was could not get from anyone else, wisdom of life.
