Responsibilities

We are into our fourth day of school (conservatory classes just started this week) and I am feeling the sense of awesome responsibility that teaching brings. I don't just want to be taking up time, filling my students' days with boring and meaningless activity just waiting for the bell to ring and the check to be deposited. Because I don't want to be bored or waste my time! I know that I won't be able to be all things to all studetns, but I certainly want to try to (be)! These talented students are entrusting to be something very special and I hope I can honor that trust and help them further along on their own journeys of discovery. So here we go again trying to be the best we are with what we have.

Saw an interesting quote yesterday: Samuel Beckett "... art loans us the spectacles with which to view reality anew."
