As the #NewMusicTeacher was a #GrownUp; he #Decided that #TheBestThing for us #ToDo was to #Learn #HowToSing; because, #IT would #GiveUs all a #Shared and #CollectiveExperience of #Music, which was a #SoundRationale...

What #HeFailed to #Appreciate was that I and my 8-#Compatriots were #AlreadyQuiteSkilled in #SeveralInstruments, which we #AlreadyOwned. #InMyCase (as a #Bassist) a #Cello, a #Trombone, and a #Bassoon. My #RomanCatholicMother had also #Made #SeparateArrangements for me to #Attend #AdditionalCoaching on the #Piano, which was #Lovely...

My #Compatriots were also #FairlyWellAccomplished on a #Range of #Instruments from which we were able to #Form a #RelativelySmall; but, #ComprehensiveOrchestra... #MainlyBecause were were already #VeryAppreciative of #Music... #InGeneral and #QuiteSpecifically...

#BackInTheDay when #OLevels were a #Thing; #BeforeGCSEs had been #Invented...

I was #StudyingMusic with 8-#Compatriots all of whom were about the #SameAge at a #School; the #SameSchool that #RobertSmith from #TheCure was #Expelled from... #IT was a #FaithBasedSchool that was both #Local and #Chosen by my #RomanCatholicMother; because, she was a #GrownUp...

I had had #ManyMusicTeachers before; because I was #QuiteFond of #Music and #BroadlyCompetent with #SeveralInstruments...

#TheSchool had a #Change of #MusicTeacher during #MyTime with them; #So, the #MusicTeacher that I made #Cry was #New and his #Appointment came just as I and my 8-#Compatriots were #Preparing to take an #Examination...

#IF you're #NotSure what an #Examination is; then, #LookITUp... #IT's like a #Test...

The band’s facebook messenger chat page is exploding right now. We’re trying to get all four of us into a room together and it’s proving to be more difficult than ever before. Our traditional 6pm on Sunday rehearsal time is not doable. We’re waffling back and forth between earlier on Sundays and after work on Thursdays. Thursdays appear to be in the lead at the moment.

Scheduling things is difficult. Was it this hard to do when we were kids? Is this an adult thing? Is it a middle aged adult thing? It’s tough to say. Sometimes acting like a grown up sucks, but what can you do? The alternative (not being a grown up) is probably worse.

Okay. We’re booked for Thursday. I put it on my Google Calendar. It is officially set in stone now. Or something like that.
