A lady in her mid-30's (and one year younger than me) happened to contact me through a clarinet website, and our 40-minute Saturday-morning pseudo-lesson began. I can't say I teach her, as I'm an amateur myself, so we play together, following an easy-written method book. I give her some advice and 'homework' and we practice the tune together the next week, and so on.
Though shallow in musicianship, the sesson gives me great pleasure and satisfaction. Also I learn a lot by teaching.
As a lecturer at some of the interpretation school, I know I'm a quite a demanding teacher. But when it comes to clarinet, that style of mine just disappears. That's natural because I can't claim to be a 'real' clarinet teacher...
The possibility that I might give lessons in the future motivates me to practise the clarinet.
