Up early and over to the school which I've kinda quit but I get the sense they are still trying to keep me there. The usual 4 hours of kids crying, throwing things at me, chatting rather than playing music...I get I've become more than a teacher to them, I'm practically a therapist at times. I just wish I was just a teacher, because then they might learn something.
The other school was fine, one kid (aged 8) played some jazz and I shouted "this is your future" at him over-enthusiastically, which probably means he'll never play jazz again.
Home for a couple hours of emailing, as a student was off sick, and then two lovely private lessons, both went very much to plan. I plan my lessons for the week on Sunday evenings, but rarely stick to my lesson plans.
Long phone chat from a parent from the school I've kinda quit, she's heard I'm 'possibly' leaving and is trying to convince me to stay. Calm down, I teach your kid for 20 minutes a week, he'll find someone else.
Back, and then spent 4 hours tuning my kit ahead of the FH recording sessions starting this weekend. New heads and everything.
Contracts for the fringe, and for the Bristol residency all came in, it's all good.
