Time well spent, but at the wrong time

I was expecting to take two tests this weekend over music history and theory as entrance exams into masters programs. I planned on my talent for theory to do well on that exam, and spent 25+ hours studying music history. Come to find out that I'm not taking the history exam this weekend, but at a future date. That means that I should have been studying theory for 25+ instead of history, and then rocked the exam. Oh well, when I do take a history exam, at least I'll be ready.

Piano lessons

I finally am teaching at least one person piano lessons. Granted that's not a lot of success. But I'll take it for the time being. One of the things I've always enjoyed about music was being able to motivate and excite others about music. When this kid started taking lessons from me, he was probably just as motivated as much as any other kid. We've only had two and a half lessons, and this kid is really excited about playing the piano. It's enjoyable to see some fruits from your efforts. Now if I can just keep him that excited and continuing to learn what he can and enjoy music consistently, I will be very happy. He actually came to his last lesson with all of his music memorized, I may have to give him more stuff to learn. We shall see.
