Heuristic Music

Since November 18, 2008, I have been using a database to keep track of what each of my students is working on. One of the side benefits of this is that I can also see how many lessons I taught during any time period.

A year less one week has passed since I started the database, and I have already logged 1229 lessons. Multiply by 7 years of independent teaching, then subtract a year to compensate for the slow first few years, and we get 7374 lessons, which I’ll average out to 7000.

That’s a lot of teaching, and haven’t counted the 3000+ lessons I taught back when I worked for a few of the studios in Oakville…

Update: The final tally for the year (November 18 2008 to November 17 2009) was 1255 lessons.

PublicSpacesLab has started a project called Music For Freedom in support of democracy for the people of Iran. Please read the following posts from their blog to learn how you can help:

I have contributed guitar parts and I will continue to work on the project as time permits. You don’t have to be a musician to participate, so please get involved!

My summer teaching schedule is taking shape and I may have room for a few new guitar students in July and August.

All ages and levels are welcome. Please contact me for information.
