Yesterday I had this with 2 classes.... Some students finally "clicked." I have had 2 classes that have been a little bit of a struggle. Students not practicing, forgetting instruments, not trying etc. But yesterday one of these classes finally made it through almost a whole new piece with minimal technical problems!! We still have a long way to go to make it good, but I am at least encouraged they finally got the rhythms down!! (Their concert is a month away.. Here's hoping!!)
In another class later, a student has been struggling with her flute. No idea when her fingers do what, struggling with sound 90% of the time, but Friday and yesterday, we finally started to get a good sound out!! Now, when she says she has practiced I might actually believe her!
Anyways, moments like these add to why I became a teacher. It's for the triumphs, the successes. It just takes a lot of tries to get there sometimes!!
