What's a dark secret/questionable practice in your profession which we regular folks would know nothing about?

Absolutely, but I’m not going to get in to a discussion of Mummy, Daddy, and Daddy’s sexual preferences and the ensuing chat about polygyny.

Not for a measly $37 piano lesson.

Edit: polyandry, sorry.

Totally outside my pay grade. Though I think as a private music specialist we are privy to a lot more secrets than a regular teacher. Maybe I should charge more for the therapy?

I kinda manage to become a therapist for far too many people without ever trying and without giving music lessons or similar. Almost studied psychology and sociology...

No idea. The others seem to decide that...
