She just plays
But when we get serious and stop gossiping she's a good teacher. There's no structure but she won't let me have a sip of coffee or a cookie unless I do it right and she watches all the way through reminding me when I'm lapsing into lazy mistakes.

Haha, discipline might be another issue
I just know I'd be the first to get bored and suggest a tea break! (Or a vinegary-lemon break, depending on the results of the experiment.)

Yeah but she says
"No, that sounded like a goose. One more and I'll pass your coffee Slow down and concentrate."

Definitely a good teacher.
I may have to copy her style, especially if it means I could find amusing ways to insult any potential pupils - "E major? That sounding like a walrus farting chromatically!"

I think I'll have to insist that all applicants are thick-skinned and have a good sense of humour
And suddenly it starts to sound like a personal ad...
