Where is the best place to nap during my child's piano lesson?


Here is a brief tutorial on parental napping during piano lessons.

Q: Should I nap during my child's piano lesson?
A: Sure!

Q: Should I nap in your piano studio?
A: No.

Q: Where is a tired parent to nap then?
A: In your car, your home, or perhaps the coffee shop?

Q: Why can't I just catch a few z's in your piano studio?
A: Are you really asking me this?

Q: Yes.
A: Because the studio policy states that parents must not nap in the piano studio. Because sometimes people snore when they nap. Because I don't like it when people sleep a few feet away from me while I am delivering world-class piano instruction. Because when my husband comes home from work and sees men sleeping on his sofa, he feels creepy. Because it's rude. Because I don't come to your workplace and take naps beside you while you're working. Because it undermines your child's study environment. Because it's inappropriate. Because you have to be awakened when it's time to go. Because it's gross. Because I told you up front that I didn't want you to nap in my studio.

Q: Don't you think you're being harsh?
A: Would you rather nap in another piano teacher's studio? Because maybe I can email my colleagues and ask if any of them are good with parental napping in their studios.

Q: Are you mad at me?
A: No. I just don't want you to take your nap in my piano studio.

And this concludes today's tutorial on parental napping during piano lessons.
