There comes a time for many artists when they're called on to share their skills with other people.

I'm hoping that their feedback and reactions will teach me to speak confidently, keep the lesson flowing smoothly, and most of all, forget my own ego in the excitement of seeing them discovering their talent. I've spent hours preparing to sit my license test, now it's time to get behind the wheel......
