For the longest time I have been a bit sad because I haven't been able to get students in my area. I was very close to getting some, but somehow their schedules and mine never could meet up. Now with me starting massage therapy school in 3 days, I have been wondering how I would be able to teach and go to school. It looked like I would not be able to teach this year, until I finish up massage therapy school.
Then something hit me....I have a student! Sure he is only 14 months old, but what a fantastic age to start! My boy has already showed an early interest in music. Anytime there is a song on the radio or someone starts singing on TV, he pays close attention and might even start to dance a little. Anytime I play the piano he is right there beside me playing the keys. He will play with one finger and play one note over and over. Now I have been working with him keeping a pulse, and sure he is just small, but he will bounce up and down to a beat. That is a start! So instead of being so devastated because I couldn't teach anymore, I have found someone to teach, within my own home! It is funny what is right in front of our eyes sometimes, and we don't even realize.

Good luck with massage therapy school Lacy! :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for you discovering your first student - right in your own home! I did this same thing with my son when he was a baby. He taught me how to teach! As he got older and people heard him play, they asked me to teach their kids.
ReplyDeleteThe best kind of student! Good Luck!
