I'm totally cool with tuning now. ^-^
I work as a sectional coach for a string program so I tune little kids' instruments. XD

xD I have a hard time working with little kids, actually. >.> I don't know why. Maybe it's just because I expect too much of them.  |

Little kids are fine by me as long as they behave. ^-^; ...actually, I take that back. If they behave too much, then there's no fun in teaching anymore. Like, I have this rambunctious viola group which I used to work with, consisting of thirteen year olds. They were pretty cool kids despite their ADHDness.

I can handle like pre-teens, but it's the really little kids that never talk that I can't handle. >.>;; I'll try to talk nicely to them, but I get frustrated too easily. |

xD I can only stand little kids if they're related to me. Then I don't feel as bad if they start crying.

Sometimes I unintentionally make them cry. >_>;;
On the topic of instruments I play- I used to be an assistant piano/music theory teacher to like really little kids a couple of years ago. And then I quit after a couple of months of putting up with kids who couldn't sit straight and complaining parents.

>.< I had to teach little kids theory for one of my piano group classes, and they were such a nightmare. I'd ask questions and they just wouldn't talk.

I've always kinda wanted to learn piano. Then I realized..I can't read bass clef. Like, when I sing in chorus..I don't know what the notes are, I just go higher/lower than the previous note depending on what it is. Amazingly, my choir teacher still hasn't noticed even during solos and stuff >.<
