So, Victoria and I executed our lesson in class the other day. Overall I think that it went quite well. Going into class I was nervous as ever for reasons unbeknownst to me. I mean, I've done years of theatre and acting and singing, but as soon as I need to get up in front of a class of my own peers, instant stage fright. That's saying something considering I've been in the spotlight on my own in front of hundreds of people before. I never would have guessed it, but it truly is a very VERY different experience.
Anyway, our lesson started just the way that we wanted it to and everyone was involved and seemed eager to get along with the lesson. We had a few drawbacks which I had noticed as the lesson was progressing. Between not having EVERYTHING totally prepared for the students before they came in and noticing weak points as we went on in what we had thought would be perfect when we were planning, I could easily tell what our notes would be during the feedback portion f the class.
Without a doubt, the issues that I noticed while in class were spot on with what the comments were and I couldn't be more grateful honestly. I felt scared about a few aspects and it just solidified what needed to be changed and how to do so. The comments were very helpful and I felt were truly honest. We've stopped trying to be nice and protect each other at all times and learned to give criticism where it is due with no hard feelings. In the end, we were both very happy with the way things turned out.
