Quick rant: one of my students cancelled his lesson with three hours notice last night, because he had been called into work. Without hesitation he offered to pay for the lesson, but I told him to just say no to work and come and have his drum lesson, as not only would he lose the lesson but hed lose the money as well... it didnt seem right that he has to cover for someone else who hasnt turned up. But he felt he had to go in as he thought hed be letting them down if he didnt. Bear in mind we are talking about part-time shift work. I couldnt help but get the impression that he was being slightly bullied and I said to him next time you book a drum lesson make it clear to your employer that you are NOT available, they shouldnt even ring you up to see if youre available, youre not available to work on that evening!.... People should stand up for themselves more....
