Today I had a very enjoyable first lesson with a new student David. I'm very excited about this student. He almost completely ambidextrous, a great gift to have for a drummer. New business cards will be finished this week and new group classes may be starting soon. Recital planning still going well.

So a ton of things going on and scheduleing is becoming very difficult. Working on a recital for August 8th where most of my students will be performing with a band for the first time ever. Also, teaching summer classes for a few recreational depatments in the area (Pasadena City College, City of Arcadia, City of Glendale) while doing the Army Reserves Band (300th Army Band) which has me scheduled to travel to Oklahoma for 2 weeks right in the middle of July which conflicts with the classes in a major way. It also forces my students to have to practice on their own and prepare for the recital without me for those days and that makes me a bit nervous. Picked up 3 new students in the past month and business is going well.
