another boring post about music.

I don't have much to say lately. Things are normal I guess (as normal as they can be) and I'm fine with that. I'm getting kind of bored though. I taught a viola lesson today. Not by choice..it was forced upon me by D-Milz when I was trying to practice but I can't really complain. The girl was a freshman and she was really sweet. I think it was harder for me on viola because I could barely read the music but she was just beginning so the songs were extremely easy. D-Milz came in to check about every 15 minutes (we were there for almost an hour) and we had made a lot more progress than he had expected. He told us to work on one page of her book and move onto the next if she could and we ended up doing 4 pages. It's really rewarding to noticeably see someone improve just because you put a few minutes of your time into helping them. She was about 5 times better after that lesson. I'm really considering giving lessons as a job. I've wanted to for a while but I never had time. [if anyone knows of beginners/intermediates who want lessons, let me know pleaseeeee!] My friend Tom got his first paying gig today. I'm so proud of him! haha. He's playing at a church on Easter. Next year I hope he can play weddings with me since Chris will be in college. Mrs. Clark (Emma's mom, if you know her) told me that if I have a permanent group together to play weddings, I could get a gig almost every weekend and get a lot more money than I could get from an ordinary job.
