 Re: Strangest private lesson?

After teaching private lessons for more than 30 years there are lots of stories about strange incidents. Many have now become distant memories...

One that I do recall was with a beginning flute student, probably about 9 or 10 years old and taking her 1st flute lesson.

After carefully setting her embouchure and showing how to blow across the tone hole, I asked her to continue to try and get a clear sound while I briefly stepped out of the studio to grab a fresh cup of coffee.

Upon returning a few minutes later there was no sound and no student.

My first reaction was that she ran away...

However, she had gotten dizzy and light headed from all the exhaling, fell off the chair and lay on the floor.

After a few minutes of recovery, she was fine and was laughing about what had happened.
