Teacher Friday nights in December are no joke. When I got home at 6pm last night, I sat glassy eyed watching lifetime after a week of 15 hour days. This morning at 9:15am, I slowly rolled my half +1 century back side out of my flannel sheeted bed. I began to get presentable for a special voice lesson. My voice student asked for an extra lesson. She is preparing a video to send in for graduate voice music school pre-screening. I offered to warm her up and video for her. She was bringing her accompanist to play. My solid elementary music piano chops don’t quite cut it with orchestral art song. Making sure my socks were the same color and the hair cowlick on the crown of my head wasn’t sticking up, I welcomed them in and we proceeded to get her voice in a good groove and record. I’m nice enough to her pianist and compliment him on his artistic playing. All that to say, I come to find out, her pianist was the kid keyboard player in “School of Rock.” What the. Of course the fan girl in me says, do you know Jack Black? He says “yes, everyone asks that.” Made for an interesting morning. #whoknew #schoolofrock #keyboardplayer #jackblack
