As I begin to once again get head deep into the music theory world, I realize that I will need a medium to vent, bounce ideas of myself, and be a complete nerd.
Teaching theory is an incredible experience. For once, I am on the other side of the table. It is a lot of fun. Most certainly, you hate to see any of your students have trouble with any of the subject matter, but no one is perfect. It will be impossible for everyone to understand. It's just like how I don't understand quantum physics or sometimes have trouble understanding English literature (I am looking at you Faulkner!) There is nothing like being embarrassed though as you're up in front of a whole class. For all of those days where you were in the student's seat and you just had a bad day (at counting or reading or whatever)...when that happens when you're in front of the class, it equals a bad day x 1000. But with a little humility, you can bounce back on your feet.
I think I'm doing alright. It certainly gets easier day by day.
And speaking of resurrection...
