Salzburg tomorrow!

I met with some of my co-operating teachers and the students today.  I'm centered in and around Brixton, in South London (love the accent!), and I've got four schools under my wing.  Let's see, the instruments I'm teaching vary from Djembe to recorder, saxophone to baritone.  On top of that, I have six deaf to partially deaf students that are being mainstreamed in music class.  Yum.  Looks like I'll be teaching them on instruments with a lot of vibration, like drums or trumpet.  These kids are tough - when I met them today they very quickly pointed out that I looked like Harry Potter.  I just shook my head with pure wonder.  I will never escape that resemblance!  Even with a short haircut, different glasses, and all that . . .  I'm listening to Goodbye Yellow Brick Road right now - I can't believe I had never heard the album before.  All the teachers I'm working with seem really nice and well-meaning, but all of them are mainly performers.  I'll be interested to see how they've adapted their teaching styles.  

I finally bit the bullet and bought an A to Zed to save me from the disaster of yesterday, where I got lost completely in South London.  I hate buses.  That is all.  

Elton John is groovy.  

On a lighter note, sometimes I feel like dancing.  Andy, that was meant for you.  Not sure why.
