Thinking about the fact I have a piano lesson this week (YAY) got me wondering -
How far do you travel? How did you pick your teacher? |

My viola teacher lives about 10 minutes drive away which is amazing given that I live in the country in the middle of nowhere!!! She was my first choice because of that when I was looking for a teacher but we actually got on very well from the start and I was hugely relieved that she decided to offer me a place.
Slightly off-topic: orchestra is a half hour drive at night which has actually put me off going, especially in the winter. It's on narrow country roads over a fairly high hill which is very unpleasant if there's snow or even ice. It starts at 7.30 and often doesn't finish until 10pm which is very late for me so I'm not going just now. Even in the summer I find that too late because I'm a morning person, up around 6am, and my brain tends to shut-down about 9pm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) I would be happy to drive even as far as the city (about an hour) if there was a musical group that met during the daytime. There's another evening orchestra there but it's for diploma-level players. |
