During the Christmas Midnight Mass last year, a gentleman approached me after the postlude and stated, "When you start giving lessons, I want to be your first student."
I replied, "Get back with me in June."
And he did. He's really the best type of student one could ask for -- extensive keyboard skills, very motivated, wants a church job. He just needs a teacher.
When I was a young whippersnapper, everyone thought I would pursue piano studies in college. I was only interested in performance however, and certainly did not ever want to be teacher. So now the joke is on me.
