I got me some Job Satisfaction

Sometimes people seem to think that being a music teacher is all uplifting and awesome and everything.  And sometimes they are right.

I had two new students for trial lessons today.  One was a teenager with Aspergers, who has never had a lesson in his life and is one of the most gifted musicians I have ever met.  I swear it was like being in a trailer for a Lifetime Channel “For the Love of Piano Lessons” montage.  Except it wasn’t tacky and it really did tear my heart out.

 Then there is the gentleman who wants to learn piano and singing because he would like to share his daughter’s love of music.  His daughter has passed away.  This is the single most beautiful reason to want to learn music that I have ever heard in my entire life.

All in all, just another day at the office :)
