Last Day at CSM
2007 June 28
Today was my last day at Cleveland School of Music. I began working at the school in Febuary of 2006. Teaching has been a great experience, but I’m definitely taking a break from it for a while. Reflections on teaching at CSM:
- Teaching is not easy.
- Kids can learn really quick when they want to.
- It is a waste of time and money for a parent to force a child to learn something that they hate.
- Communication is SO important.
- E-Mail is not a good forum for dialogue.
- 30 minutes can be agonizingly long and unbelievably fast all at the same time.
- I’m not good with uniforms.
- Rhythm is the hardest thing to teach.
- Adults often want to know how to play, but they don’t want learn.
- Anyone can learn if they want to.

Thanks for the acknowledgment that teaching isn’t easy! Can you think of anyone you should apologize to when you go back to ECA for a visit?
