Frank Townsell wished to impart to students a love of music through the piano, with the idea that everyone can learn to play and become a musician, once the basic principles are understood. He felt that every student is unique and that an instructor must have a flexible attitude toward students. One of Townsell's students participated in an international competition in Paris. Former students sent him messages of appreciation for his teaching. The pianist explained:

My students are all working enthusiastically, which inspires me to share more with them. One is playing an arrangement of Beethoven's slow movement to the 5th Symphony. His sister is playing a Liszt Etude de Concert. Another is playing an arrangement of music from the movie Black Orpheus. It gives me joy to see my students developing their skills and fulfulling themselves as musicians through the piano.
