Today I taught my first violin lesson. I blanked out at times but I got through it in the end. I'm not sure if I want to continue teaching because I didn't really feel much even though the student was quite agreeable. I'm not sure how I'd handle more disagreeable students but I guess I can always choose my own clients, the benefit of being your own boss. I feel like I'm so exhausted after teaching that I don't want to practice the violin myself. My own violin teacher said,
"As a teacher, you won't like it when your students don't practice."
Then again, I practiced more than I have ever these past two weeks. Hopefully, I won't make a habit of not practicing and pick it up again tomorrow. But that's what I always say,
"Tomorrow." As some people say, if you're not doing it today, you're probably not doing it tomorrow. So I might just pick it up today.
