 Re: Strangest private lesson?

I had an in-school position a few years ago where I gave lessons in the instrument room. One student would always come in with her horn, and promptly go in someone else's case to 'borrow' a tuning barrel.

Her own barrel was broken in half (not split, but two mini-barrels), and even had the donut-shaped scar as if it were a broken-off stalgmite. How this happened was never explained to my satisfaction, but I'm still awed by the strength and leverage that must've been involved in such an 'accident.' Although she took clarinet lessons, she always played marimba or low brass in the band, and to my knowledge never replaced that barrel.

At one point, I even talked to the band director about dropping her from the lesson schedule, but he responded that she was one of his best players.
