Another day at the OCOM

Monday was supposed to be my first day back at the conservatory after our two week break. I didn’t go, because I was sick (which I don’t normally do, but I was pretty bad).

Luckily, no one showed up anyways. So even if I had gone, it wouldn’t have made much of a difference. I think one of my students came (because he has to come anyways, he takes guitar after piano and his sister and mum take violin) but I got kind of confused when I asked Bev about it today. So I’m not sure if he came and they said that he just wasn’t having a piano lesson that day, or if they missed the piano lesson.

It doesn’t matter.

Tonight, I was supposed to have seven.

I had four and then one that’s not normally my student.

So honestly, for the first week back that’s a pretty good turn out. And the kids who came are the ones who practice, who like piano and who have the natural ability to do it. I think most of my students like piano well enough, and I think all of them have a general ability to do it, but the four I had today are the ones that really get it fast. So it was an easy night.

A few of my kids are getting into the grade four books, which makes me excited, haha. I’m really tired of grade three, because a lot of my kids were doing it last year and I feel like it’s the one grade I hear all the time. Even in missed lessons a lot of them are grade three.

Now they’re all grade four. Which is fine, because I like the grade four songs.

Not that I didn’t like the grade three songs, but it’s nice to have something a bit new.

That’s all I really have to say about that right now. I should be asleep. It’s almost 5am.

I still have to finish my laundry.
