A workshop in Apr 2024 run by Julie Stevens included a Kin Moore poem - The Trumpet Teacher's Curse. To me this poem illustrated the annoyance experienced if trying to teach something, that you love, to an unreceptive class. I felt the frustration and futility of it and wrote this.
Distractions are exactly that
But when they become disruptions
They reach another level
It is one thing to waste your own time
It’s another to waste the time of a group
But when you waste the valuable time of teachers
It reaches yet another level
Learning requires focus
And if not there to learn
Then why be there at all
