I went to work on only 4 hours sleep. Normal that's Ok, but I did the same thing the day before. It all adds up.

I was a meanie, too.
I told a student today, that our lesson time was up, and she said "Awww, can't you stay a bit longer?"
Comments like that, make me feel real mean, but kinda warm and fuzzy inside :-)

Well, I guess I was a meanie, too.
My student bought the book on the way over to my house. Of course, I told Mom to get the book weeks ago. I even called the store to make sure it's in stock. Obviously, the student didn't get any chance to practice before coming over.
We spent 90 minutes sight-reading our way through one piece.

Ouch, AZN. That always bothers me, so now I buy the books for them and just send home an invoice for the cost. Now the student goes home ready to practice with no excuses .

Doesn't that just tick you off?! When they can't get to the store after a month's notice Grrr.
I try to have every lesson book on hand, or at least one that will work until they get it, just for that very reason. urgh. Morodiene, do you charge a fee then for doing their errands for them? Lol
