I find Gina's post very interesting. In response, I feel it is crucial for a good educator to be a phenomenal musician. Let's take the video we saw of Ms. Jenkins in CPII. Without being an extraordinary musician, there is no way the lesson she taught could have been so smooth figuring half of what she was using was brought in during the class.
That said, I also have to disagree with the lack of credit we're giving for a doctor or a lawyer in terms of the passion they have for their field. I truly believe that a surgeon who works insanely difficult hours, or a prosecutor who puts in long days isn't passionate about their work; I don't think they would be able to survive if they didn't. Granted, it is a different passion, a much more internal passion, but none the less, a strong, driving, passion.
