    Teaching has its highs and lows. Many of us know the highs of a student performing really well, or finding new discoveries, or having them get into a great school. What are the funniest, craziest, weirdest, kookiest, or most annoying experiences you have had as a harp teacher?

    Well, I’ll start this off: the weirdest student I had must have been the pretty young woman living on the East Side of Manhattan, who actually turned out to be a call girl, who thought she ought to learn the harp like the courtesans did. It didn’t last long, and I hope she went back to Ohio.

    Saul, I think the reason that this thread has not taken off is because people don’t want to put something in writing that might have repercussions. I have some good stories, but I would feel terrible if some of my former students somehow came across them and recognized themselves!

    I know. If only we could do it anonymously.
