From the Mouths of Students

April 18, 2007 at 9:53 AM

"I know you never hate your students, but you're definitely gonna hate me this time." --Olivia

"When the soundpost falls, you feel like the Hoover dam just broke, and you're in the city below it." --Jonathan

"I couldn't get off that note. I was like a stuck truck." --Kayla

"You look like George Washington. He doesn't smile, either." --Isabelle

"If you don't get a sticker, it's like winning only 10 cents on Wheel of Fortune." --Jonathan

"Do-re-mi-fa...If finger four is "So", how will we ever get to the top?" --Melissa
(Find out next week, Melissa!)

"If I pluck the strings too hard, Melody yells at me. She doesn't like to be hurt like that. Last week she lashed me with her E string and it shot across the room." --Jonathan

"Thanks for giving me a fun lesson anyway." --Olivia

Reminds me of the book by Art Linkletter: "Kids Say the Darndest Things." Thanks for sharing those.
What are the ages of all these students? They sound young but wise and observant.
P.S. What a gorgeous new profile picture!
Nice picture!
Karin, these particular quotes are from kids ages 6-10. That's a great age for creative thought.
I like that. Some day I'll write something similar about remarks by my students. Actually, some of them are heartwarming.
