I live in Aberdeen, Scotland. I'm 18 and just got my Diploma in Music Teaching with Double Bass. I've been playing for 9 years but have only been teaching for a matter of months and i find it terrifying! haha Great fun though! I am also a beginner Bassoon and guitar player. I don't yet play piano.. Do you find it is important to be able to play the piano? I know it would help to accompany pupils.. Christy x Hi there, I really enjoyed reading your blog.

Would you say you love the teaching side of music rather than the performing part? Because I've had friends who loved more the latter than seeing themselves performing. Great reflections Jason.

I have a question from the perspective of a student: I often find myself needing help especially when it comes to sight-reading rhythms. I wonder how music teachers would encourage their students to improve their sense of rhythms, especially if rhythm is one critical weakness of the student?
