Monthly Post: Communication (and Diligence) is Key

Two weeks ago, I came to the Music Store for my bass lesson, only to meet a dejected face of an employee.

As it turns out, my bass teacher wasn't there.

He had called an hour before the lesson, saying that he had already told the person on the counter on the Wednesday that he wouldn't be coming that Saturday. He thought that the person had already called his students... And the person didn't.

Last time I saw my bass teacher, which was last Saturday, he said that that wasn't a good thing. It's that kind of unreliable communications between the teacher, the store, and the students that would cost him students, and the person on the counter that previous Sunday had a chance to call all the students, and didn't.

Yet another reason why keeping up communications is important.
