Talking to my friend C tonight on IM:
C: I'm hoping I mentioned to you I have a student that I discovered that can't read music too well and she's been playing for years?
Sassy: Yup
C: so I didn't prepare her lesson yesterday and COMPLETELY forgot her duet book
Sassy: Doh
C: so I thought we'd try one more time at this concerto movment
C: it's in a Suzuki book
C: so we are going along and things are going really well
C: I was happy
C: so . .
C: we get to the 'middle' section
C: and you have to remember I've taught this piece for 15 years . . .
C: it says espressivo e tranquillo
C: so I ask the million dollar questions
C: what do you think this means?
C: she's a teenager . . . and says
C: with espresso and tranquilizers!
Sassy: Oh.My.God.:-P
C: I have NEVER laughed so hard in my life at an answer
C: I had tears in my eys
C: and then she says "What?"
C: That's not correct?
C: So I explain that the coffee is an upper and tranquillzers are the opposite
C: (I said) so . . . do you think that was what Seitz (the composer) was on?
Dude. I love my job. :P :)
