This lesson was such a let down, especially after the awesome one we had had the day before. I felt so bad because I knew that it was basically my fault that the lesson was going to poorly. I felt awful with my headache and with my own vocal fatigue from opera and just that week in generally being crazy and stressful. I just felt so bumbed that she wasn't getting 100% from me and that it was so obviously effecting the lesson. I was really grateful for some of the comments that Cindy made, both in the lesson and in the email later. I feel like even though I was disappointed that Cindy couldn't have seen a really great lesson, like the one before, I still learned a lot about myself as a teacher. Maybe having a really bad lesson was good so that Cindy could see more of what I could improve on.
I felt really good about the lesson that I did in class later that week. I tried really hard to take the comments in the email to heart and to apply them to the lesson I was giving. It was a lesson very similar to the Monday lesson, and I think Tage did a really great job of listening to what I asked for and trying to stay on the same level as me.
