I had a terrible flashback to my sophomore year high school Spanish class the other day. I remember my young, straight-from-Spain teacher who tried her best to get us interested in Spanish. She was not always strict enough with us and I always wondered why some of the kids were so rude to her...and why I didn't always take her seriously enough. Then I realized...I am sort of like this teacher now! The "foreign"-doesn't-completely-know-how-to-properly-discipline-teenage boys-while-teaching-music. How humbling. Isn't life funny?
And maybe when I go home and I sing in my church choir again at some point I won't talk when Mike is teaching the soprano or tenor part. Maybe.
Next semester: Miss Bethany... also known as that insane, dictator, music teacher. The students will be saying "What happened? She was so much easier before."
Oh this post was just awesome! Love it when a lesson is learning with a flashback! Hey Mike might not let you in the adult choir...they sang for the Feast Day of the Immaculate Conception and I have never heard them sing better! New male voices! Mike is doing an AWESOME job! You better listen to him!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOh Thank you JPII.
ReplyDeleteFunny - I thought we were flat and sang too slow on Immaculate Conception!
It's all about perspective, isn't it?
Beth - we'll still goof when we stand side by side in the choir....you know it and I know it :)
