I taught flute and saxophone for about 7 months my senior year of high school and I hated every minute of it. Most kids don't practice regularly and expect to get good over night just because they're taking lessons. You need to be able to not get frustrated with students like this or you might end up making them cry (that was when I knew it was time to move on).

One big thing to remember if you want to get into teaching is you need to have the utmost patience because 9 times out of 10 your student won't be nearly as dedicated as you.
