Hey Guys

one of the most difficult things an instructor has to deal with is the music. We have to balance what we may find inspiring to teach to (although Dolly Parton isnt what i had in mind hahaha) as well as the likes and the dislikes of the class. I have 14 participants in one of my classes. I can't satisfy every one of their music tastes, but i do try to mix it up a little and hopefully everyone hears a little something that they enjoy.

Making suggestions is great but it is difficult to add songs to spin profiles sometimes. One of my participants made a great CD for me but unfortunately i couldn't really add in any of the songs except a few. Also keep in mind that it takes A LONG TIME to put a CD together. i download songs, sift through my boyfriends collection and carefully select songs to match a profile. This takes time and effort and i am only now getting used to not taking song complaints too personally. i know how much work i put into making the CD, and to be honest i think many participants don't realize that.

Just my two cents
