First day back teaching following broken knee 3 wks ago.
First #SmallPupil forgets and I have 4 staircases to deal with to find him. I'm so slow the lesson is 2/3 over by the time we get going!
#SmallPupil: "Sir, can we record 'Happy Birthday' together for my mum?"
Me: "Yes, of course!"
We rehearse, record, send the video to his mum and delete it from my phone.
Me: "Is it her birthday today?"
#SmallPupil: "No. January 1st."
#SmallPupil: "Are you the trumpet teacher?"
Me: "Yes, my name is Mr. Thompson."
#SmallPupil: "Do you have a xylophone?"
#SmallPupil "Does Mrs.Thompson hide under the pillow when you practise the trumpet?"
Me: "I was looking for Mrs.Needham, but she's clearly not here!"
#SmallPupil: "No Sir, that's her, she's just dressed like #Shakespeare."
#WorldBookDay
#SmallPupil "Sir, can I skip this rest?"
Me: "It's 3 quavers long, takes less time than the question!"
A #smallpupil and I enjoyed finishing our lesson this week with him on #ClashCymbals, me on #BassDrum, both singing at the tops of our voices #SilentNight!
#SmallPupil "Can I play God save the dead queen or is it called something else now?"
#SmallPupil "I practise 1 and 1/2 hours every day, except Sundays. I do more on Sundays because...no homework". (I've asked him to buy the books for grade 1!)
#SmallPupil: "Yesterday I played upper D for 6 seconds and then at try-it-again-time [?!!] I played a high F for 0.5 seconds."
#SmallPupil "I didn't practise the last song because every day we have dinner and then it's night-time straight away."
#Me: "Do you know what a one beat note is called?"
#SmallPupil: "Yes, a two beat note."
#Me: "Do you know what type of metal your instrument is made out of?"
#SmallPupil "Crotchet."
#SmallPupil: "Sir, have we got a little off-topic?"
#SmallPupil: "Sir, how does a bee do a poo - wouldn't it lose its stinger?"
Me: How's the new school year treating you?
#SmallPupil: It's better than last year, the dinner portions are bigger.
#SmallPupil returns from summer break. He has been practising. The info box says that accidentals pertain to the full bar so he starts #OdeToJoy with 4 F#s then A, G F# F# before I realise what he's doing!
Me: "You're playing C instead of G - what's the difference between C & G?"
##SmallPupil: "But Sir...I'm...the king!"
#SmallPupil "Mr. Thompson, if I play no.5 well, can I touch the squidgy pipe near the ceiling?"
Me: "Yes, I'll get a chair for you to stand on."
#SmallPupil: "I'm not good with heights..."
#SmallPupil: "Mr.Thompson, is your tie broken?"
Me: "No, it's meant to be like this."
#SmallPupil: "Did you cut it with scissors?"
#SmallPupil learning "A Clare Benediction":
Me: "Do you know what a #benediction is?"
Pupil: "Yes, it's in biology for finding how much sugar is in plant-life."
#BenedictsSolution!
