First Lesson
I got a call last week from a prospective student, and realized I'd not yet set up the studio! I booked him for Monday, 19 August, and got to work. (I'm still teaching another student, but that's a by-special-arrangement travelling teacher situation.)
I spent the weekend working, and got the place set up. There's a nice carpeted performing/teaching area, a desk with the computer and mixing board on it, and good lighting. The acoustics are very nice.
The new student arrived on time (although I do need to give out better directions! Perhaps a folding business card with a small map on the back?) and we got to it. About the only immediate problem with the place is that I still need to install the A/C, but I'll get to that this weekend. I need to get some newer chairs, using kitchen chairs doesn't cut it.
I think I'm getting the teaching thing down. I was able to spot potential problems and set the student up well, and I gave him a good first lesson without too many preliminaries. I think he was pleased, but I need to take him past the newbie stage and will evaluate then.
