Broken guitar strings, children turning up with dusty old guitars retrieved from Great Uncle`s attic and expecting to be the next Jimi Hendrix in one lesson! Fitting lessons round school timetables-the staff don`t want them to miss the core subjects and the children don`t want to miss PE or playtime! Children who are not sure whether they want to sign up for lessons or not. Pet dogs and little cousins who eat tutor books and twiddle tuning pegs......oh the life of a Peri.

Did anyone see Waterloo Road last night for the most ridiculous representation of music teaching in a television drama? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)

I did! Offset the protests in my mind with another conversation something like 'ooo I want that flute and a 'cello and a .........' etc! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I'd cry if an orchestra was set up like that! He's also the drama teacher O_o dunno how that works... (or at least he did both when he was last on in series 3-4, me? too much Waterloo road? never! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) )

Loving the back-to-front treble clef on the wall, and the great plans to have an orchestra full of pupils who have no previous experience of playing a musical instrument. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Still shell-shocked about the death of the 14 year old that I taught.

Thanks for all the nice comments and hugs, guys.

Not a good week.

Lots of sympathy Cyrilla. Apparently a local high school has lost a member of staff too this week.

Agree too - hope you get a break soon but thoughts and sympathy in the meantime.

Thanks, all - I'm just so shocked still about this boy. He was only 14..and from such a lovely family...I still don't know what happened - it seems a bit shrouded in mystery.

What his poor parents and brother are going through I can only imagine.

Such sad news, Cyrilla. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) It's very hard to come to terms with death, but especially when it's such a young person.

Today, something happened that I had been fervently hoping for years would not happen. Would rather not be too explicit in public, especially after this morning when I was very explicit in public (ie an Incoherent Sobbing Wreck). Suffice it to say that I feel totally gutted and extremely sad.

Thanks all - and hugs to Misterioso too..

My ARGH for today was that I managed to pop a contact lens out while I was putting eye make-up on and it went down the plughole (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

Fortunately I had a spare one but they're pretty expensive to replace (I shall need to replace the spare in case I do something stupid again...). And I am in minus pounds at the moment...

Might your household insurance cover losses like this?

Church Music Group (both of them) returned from their summer recess yesterday, and made their presence felt in their usual inimitable style. We had hoped that they might disband, but no such luck.
