I have been using McCann reeds since EJ made me realize that synthetic chanter reeds sound like crap. That's been since November 03. I have gotten so used to...
Hello, THanks, Yes those are my sons, playing only a year :) They have been doing well in 2/4 march and piob. Hoping to get them to grade 3 next year. ... ...
I've been playing Gilmour (Gilmore??) reeds from Australia. I like them. Nice tone. I just gave away two older reeds to a couple of my students who were...
There is an old addage: "You are worth what you are paid" at least in the eyes of the people you serve either as a teacher or whatever. I am also an ordained...
Must be something going around. I quit last Thursday. Well, I was motivated in part because I knew yesterday I was having teeth pulled, and I wanted to be in...
Well, I know there are feelings all over the place on this issue. And there probably isn't a one of us who isn't conflicted within our own hearts. I see Gary...
Well, in a way I do wish they would pay us. I think that that would legitimize us in their eyes. But, yes, I still performed the duties requested of me (and...
If there's no joy in seeing the students grow, all the money in the world won't make a difference! If there is that joy, only enough money need be given to...
Well, as a substitute I make and average of $70.00 per day or $10.00 per hour. 7am to 2pm usually. I make two days work with one funeral, and several more...

Along the same lines, I take my relationship with my teacher on a week to week basis. We don't really share alot of interests, so we would never be "best...
I'm not so sure that how old you are makes much of a difference. "you shouldn't be a teacher" is high-school. To my credit, I have taught a successful band...
There are charlatans out there who are trying to set up phone instruction of the GHB. For pay. View that offer with extreme suspicion. Pete Hi Pete, Not just...
Good relationship you've had with EJ over the years, Bobby! Do you realize it's been years now? I sure do! For some reason, pipe instructors sometimes have to ...
... Thanks for the laugh Carol! I needed it. I'm on drugs. I had to come home from work at 1:00 because the pain from the teeth pulled on Monday got too great,...
... Unfortunately, I had to find out the hard way that it doesn't work, and why. And I wasted two years of my life on it, and two years of a student's life,...
The case about phone lessons is obviously one that really can't be disputed, if you can't see what the student is doing there is little or no way to be able to...
In a band setting the student pays for his/her lessons by actively participating with the band in paid functions. The band gets paid. The student does not. In...

Well, in Houston the rate is 30. If it were 20, I'd be alot further along on upgrading to that illusive P4-A I've had my eyes on for about a year...If it were...
Now this is where I draw the line! The primary impediment to the student's progress should be the student's own desire to practice. Pipes are expensive. But...
My very first tutor charged me $15.00. He said his usual rate was $20.00, but at that stage of my development I simply wasn't capable of absorbing $20.00 of...
