Jedi Knights

Me: I want you to practice this line until you’ve mastered it, okay? You can do it.
Student: You want me to master it like a Jedi Knight?
Me: Actually, yes! Exactly like a Jedi Knight.

What a wonderful, inspiring analogy. My students are so creative. Next time I have to do something hard I’m going to take his advice and do it just like a Jedi Knight would.

My student then launched into a detailed description of a Jedi Knight slicing a watermelon with a light saber. It was actually quite the opposite of him mastering the bass clef notes like a Jedi Knight, but was quite amusing. He eventually got down to business and did his piano Jedi Knight thing.

Oh, the joys of teaching small hilarious children.
