Hello folks.=20

I recently received this cancellation message from a student on the morning
of his lesson. It is a gem. Deserves a title, such as "Every Beginner's
Lament". Thought I'd share it with you. I told him he was not alone....

Best regards, Riley

re lesson today

know it=B9s late notice
but still don=B9t feel I=B9m up to it

have been practising
[but admittedly not every day]

still unable to make notes at will

and most often =20
hardly at all

at times when I can squeak something out
flute position seems very uncomfortable on the chin
[is it supposed to be an uncomfortable position?]

get quite demoralised

but I will not give up

contact me if there=B9s a problem

cheers

(student's name)

p.s. I still owe you 5 dollars
