My Side Hustle

Foreword:
While everyone saw the Lock-down 2020 as a showstopper, there are few opportunists like me who ended up getting a lot of time to formalize my side hustle.

One of my childhood dream was to be able to play piano as good as the person playing piano at my parish church. I was one among those who stood at awe while his fingers danced beautifully while he played. I didn't have a great voice and I knew it, however I was a part of the choir only to be able to watch him tickle the ivory.

Over a period of time, this turned into a obsession to play the piano to which I quite easily succumbed. Yes, I was one of those who got lucky with piano classes at an early age, however what I could amount to, at that point was limited to the training I was able to garner. 

After I got into my job as a software engineer and was able to devote enough resources, my obsession turned into a quest which lead me to a renowned trumpet player who taught me how to read sheet music. There was no stopping me henceforth. I gained enough knowledge to nurture my hobby on my own, and now, after enough time and effort, I got to a point where I am able tutor kids in the right direction to make music a serious hobby. 


I have been training students for the past two years while managing to become a tech lead at a reputed Software firm. This blog will give you an insight of everything but not limited to my journey, opinions, modus operandi. Instagram Link

It starts with one! Although there were a few hiccups with the camera angle initially the online classes were a grand success. There were a few take aways for me. To start off with, the attention span of the students were limited. So the regular one hour class had to be brought down to half an hour. Instead of a weekly once class of one hour, we had split the classes in to a half an hour session of 2 classes each of which the second class would be  the week. The demo classes will be over by the end of the month and all the necessary precursors would fall in place. The institute is now equipped and ready for its Season 2 of Online classes.

The Online Challenge

Every tutor, particularly in the field of fine arts would agree that technology can be introduced but to a certain extent. Having said this, I wish to experiment on the latest request made by one of my student's parent. To conduct an online class. To this date I have never given it a thought. Let alone trying it. The fact that I get to meet the children gives me a sense of involvement in nurturing them. It's a great feeling to know that you get a hand to shape the future generation. Every teacher in every field takes pride in this fact. I have had several discussions with the kids regarding their experiences in school,  one of my student who goes horse riding can never start his class without talking about his favorite horse Nepolean. So it is the bonding we develop with each individual which drives us forward into our knowledge sharing. This time, I have decided to take a plunge by putting aside my skepticism and see where the road leads. I am quite anxious about my f...
