Teaching

So this past weekend has been rather interesting, and I thought I would share it with you. I have a student that has her lessons on Friday afternoons, and I must say that she surprised me this week. In the process, it made me realize how truly important being a teacher is, and how much influence you have on the lives of other people. This very same student had also approached me earlier in the week with questions about becoming a Flute Performance major. I hope I answered her questions well, and that she had enough information for her article, and quite a lot of food for thought in the mean time.

This little bit of teaching ignited a spark in me that helped get me out of my apathetic stage that I've been going through, and not only kick started my practicing again, but also urged me to get the ball rolling on my website (now officially under construction), and a youtube channel. Hopefully in the next two weeks or so, I will have everything up and running.

In other news, my Valentine's Day was rather busy, but with work rather than romance. But don't worry, my Valentine and I are doing our celebration on Wednesday night. :) I had a concert today (among other things) that took up most of the afternoon. It was sort of a dress rehearsal for this upcoming weekend when we perform for our University's Annual Honor Band Clinic. I'll not only be playing in the concert, but in a flute clinic, and will be sitting in on the judging of about 80 high school flutists when they take their seating auditions on Thursday night. Yay.

I think it is time to log off, play some DDR (GREAT CARDIO!!!), then go to bed for an early practice session.

Oh- And no one had any thoughts about falling clouds? Hmm. What if you had a pool of Jello? Would you swim in it? I wouldn't. I think I would get stuck upside down if I were to dive into it. And Jello is not good for breathing.
