I have missed 3 days!  Busy teaching, doing Bikram yoga, playing music, and the usual everyday things we do.

I am realizing more and more that the pacing and style of teaching is what keeps a class going, not the content.  There are days where my pacing is not at the proper one for a class.  I will teach the same content again in another class and it is the perfect pace.  Of course I am constantly learning, something that is an "in the moment" process.

My style is similar in situations at music schools, but in a "school, school" I am more strict.  It is a different environment and you have to adapt to this.

I have gotten my one to two year old style and pacing more settled too.  With subbing for a colleague who is ill, the first day I was not in touch with that.  I had not taught that age for a couple of years.  After one week I remembered my materials and after one more week things went beautifully.
