I'm in a posting kind of mood today.
I met with the trio (chamber group), we decided upon and copied music, and also dealt with rehearsal times. I think we will all work well together. No horribly difficult personalities to deal with. I'm extremely relieved, and feel quite happy about that.
On another strange but true note, I have a new student. He is a senior here who has been playing violin for almost a year. He's pretty nice, and didn't run away screaming after our lesson, so I think it will work out. The nerves I had before we met! I hope that this feeling goes away as I improve/gain experience as a teacher. Yeesh, and to top it all off: I got a call from a lady who wants a violin/cello duo at her wedding. The "How much do you charge?" question always messes with me. So I hammered it out after that call. I'm pretty sure that my rates are reasonable, judging by how guilty I do or do not feel about charging what I do.
I've got to go to Orchestra now,
