It's not just for regular paid students, either. I don't teach, now, but my
grandsons came to spend spring break with me, and Greg wanted me to help
him on his trumpet. (I know. I'm a clarinet player, but I was a band
director and taught a lot of kids.) Greg (& Mike) arrived. Trumpet
arrived. Mouthpiece was in his band room locker, 250 miles away. Made it
somewhat difficult to work on tonal projection. <g> (I even went so far as
to go to the only music store w/n 50 miles to buy a new mpc for him. They
had nothing but some really strange facings! (i.e. 14C!!!))
