Me: So there are seven letters on the music alphabet: A through G. There is no such thing as a note called Q, or W, or Z.
5th grade trombone student: Not yet, there isn't!
#2.
Me: Dr. Selfridge is a band teacher who makes YouTube videos for beginning band students like you guys!
4th grade clarinet student: (raises hand) Is he rich?
#3.
5th grade clarinet student: I think you'd be good at being a principal of a music academy!
Me: Thank you, but I'm happy being a teacher right now. Maybe in the future, though.
Student: Can you make sure that I get in for free?
