The traffic was particularly bad today - took me over 2 hours to make the 45 minute trip over to the primary school, buggering up my schedule a bit.
All came together eventually - my standard '3 school Friday', all have students of various quality, it felt more like a 'job' today than pleasure, though, mostly because I'm fucking knackered. It is a job, though, I mean - it pays, really quite well.
Cracking private lesson with the Spanish family, I just really like them as people and it is a genuine pleasure to teach their kid drums, the whole family are just so warm. Then over to teach my first ever student, who needed some time out recently because there was a sense that he was losing interest a bit...which is fine, he's only 8 after all, but his parents are keen for him to keep on playing. The lesson tonight was great, though - totally back on form and everyone seems happy again.
Rehearsal with the jazz/teacher band in the evening. I was the only one not drinking and it all felt sloppy and a bit too loose for my liking. We have a gig soon, we need a bit of improvement.
