So, I taught today. It went okay. I got a bit of progress out of my student, which feels like a major victory after the last few lessons.
Maybe it has to do with learning styles, but I find it interesting that both of my students are working on the same song, and one of them picked up the basics in the course of one lesson, while the other has had the music for almost a month and is still struggling to put the second line of it together.
What that tells me is that I need to do a better job of altering my approach with one student while keeping my approach pretty much the same with the other.
Didn't get a chance to do much playing for myself today, or to really have a chance to even think about anything involving my own musical journey until it was later in the evening, and I was exhausted. Here's the good news that comes out of that, though. I've got tomorrow night off from any responsibility except for music. I'm supposed to go to dinner right after work, but I'm pondering skipping out on that too, just because it feels like it's been forever since I've had a night where the only thing I need to do is focus on music.
Made it all the way through the new Green Day, and loved it. Perhaps part of tomorrow will involve sitting down with the new Soundgarden for a while. I can only hope.
