unhinged
i
tell
my
students
to
relax
so
much
that
i
need
a
new
word
for
it
.
i
try
in
my
most
soothing
voice
,
but
i
still
can't
coach
them
into
the
optimum
state
for
playing
the
violin
.
but
then
again
,
i
didn't
learn
how
to
relax
until
i
had
been
playing
for
15
years
.
no
one
ever
even
mentioned
the
word
relax
to
me
while
i
was
playing
until
then
.
who
cares
if
you
drop
your
bow
.
just
relaaaaax.
(
i
have
also
had
to
teach
my
students
how
to
breathe
.
neurotic
6
year
olds
are
a
sad
sight
)

no reason
my
old
drum
teacher
used
to
tell
me
that
. "
relax
,
but
stay
focused
."
heh
.
right
.

neurotic
6
year

in
their
twenties
are
no
picnic
either

...
unhinged
that's
why
i
teach
them
how
to
breathe
.
if
someone
would
have
taught
me
that
sooner
,
i
could
have
averted
many
what
i
later
learned
were
panic
attacks
.
seriously
though
,
if
people
want
me
to
play
therapist
for
their
kids
they
need
to
pay
me
twice
as
much
.
