Yeeeee ha!

The machine trundles on. Last Saturday I took my first class at one of the Essex music schools. Mostly electric guitar students, with one learning bass. Four hours each week.

Today I got asked if I could take on another regular school, so I start there tomorrow. Six more students.

And finally, I got a call from one of my regular schools asking if I could take on another student with them. I can and I have, but that means I'm now....wait for it.... full, yes, completely full, on Wednesday mornings. Rock and roll.

Her indoors is well pleased. We might even be able to eat this week.

Alan, eating is overrated so don't worry about it too much.

Congrats on the teaching though sounds like 2010 is going to be a good year for you!

It's a long way to the top if you want to rock n roll!

Congrats! That's something you've worked very hard for.

It turned out to be 7 more students in the end - the School got another one signed up overnight

I won't tell you what their previous teacher had been trying to get them doing; professionalism forbids (know what I mean)
