Just say Yes!

I, as a thespian, have learned well the great rule of improvisation; always say yes. This goes for life I think as well and especially student teaching. I do not really have a structure to when I teach and when I do not. Roughly, I teach everyday but not every hour and sometimes not at all. Sometimes I do warm ups or my pieces or lately anything else that might be helpful. Whatever it is I am asked to do, I always say yes. I have been asked to work individually with OPUS Honor Choir auditionees, lead sectionals, etc. and it has been great. It has forced me to plan for the week and not the day because I never know when and what I might be doing. It has also helped me come to terms with the idea that I may not always get to do everything I wanted for that day and that is alright. There always a chance to go back and work something that did not get covered.

Much like Ryan Stiles in this video, I can always go back and redo what went wrong and Like Wayne Brady, I accept what is thrown my way.
