Since writing this post almost two years ago, I now have a daughter as well and I actually try to teach a lot after 7 when my children are in bed, and my husband is studying for school - so it actually works out pretty well! But once the husband is done with school, I would rather not teach during those hours. It's always an interesting balancing act with the two roles and with my current schedule...I wonder how others handle it?Jenny Bayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736364511824338617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900681022540361999.post-65358907578329022952012-04-20T12:55:55.849-06:002012-04-20T12:55:55.849-06:00I wish I could find more students who want to take...I wish I could find more students who want to take lessons during after school hours! Where I teach in the D.C. metro area, there are many families with two working parents who need their children to take evening lessons. 5:30-8 are my in demand hours.Oliviahttp://www.bloggingfromwesttoeast.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900681022540361999.post-74192195854064410762010-05-06T07:39:54.066-06:002010-05-06T07:39:54.066-06:00Thanks, Jenny, for such a helpful and heartfelt po...Thanks, Jenny, for such a helpful and heartfelt post. I've been teaching piano lessons for nearly 10 years (so it's a major part of my life!) -- and now our first baby is due in October (and I'm SO excited!)... so I'm very interested to hear how teachers strike a good balance between teaching and 'mommying'. :-) Thanks for your thoughts and advice -- I love reading this blog!Anya at Notes of Joyhttp://notesofjoy.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900681022540361999.post-46724524799802557932010-05-05T09:19:59.302-06:002010-05-05T09:19:59.302-06:00This post echoes so many of my own sentiments.

When one of them asks for a late night "lesson" its like someone offering me chocolate - pretty hard to say no:).<br />Piano preschool was a fun way for me to combine my role as parent/piano teacher as 2 of my "students" were my own children. They were more excited about doing piano activities with their friends, and it helped me to be more consistent about teaching them too.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11510660290875713795noreply@blogger.com
