It’s been a while (like, 18 years) since I have given guitar lessons. I put an ad in the paper on Monday. The ad runs tomorrow. And actually, I’m a little nervous about it.
In the past few months I have been communicating with some guitar players on-line and that, I guess, is what set me off in this direction. One thing I’ve noticed is that there is a definite web wide interest in guitar instruction. Hopefully, there will be some local interest as well. I’m not aware of anybody else that is teaching around here and there are no music stores close by; we’ll see how it goes.
My friends Pat and Esther have volunteered the use of their office (which is actually a little house here on Joe Bald Road) in the evening so, I’ll have a nice space to work in.
Like I said, I’m a tad nervous about it but, not in a bad way. The nervousness comes from knowing that I used to have a routine, a system that I would use with a new student. All these years down the line, the “system” is a lot different than how I think in the now. So, I’ll be starting fresh. I’m really looking forward to it because, one thing I know is, when I was teaching before, I was improving right along with the students.

I’ll let you know how it goes.
