That’s awesome. :-)
The thing about “don’t ask about chapter 8” is so freaking true. Both as a former TA and as an occasional workshop teacher. What Shay said about how, as long as you teach within your skill set, you’re fine, is good to remember.
Sometimes I wonder if I could “get away with” offering something like “Slap Happy: hands-on percussion play 101” as a workshop. Part of me knows that I could, but the other part of me hangs back because “what if someone who’s not at the 101 level shows up and wants to learn something they don’t know yet?”
Perhaps I can swing it (ahaha) if I keep that “don’t ask us about chapter 8” rule in mind. :-)
Thanks,

Sometimes it occurs to me that the biggest mistake people make is over-stating their qualifications/expertise. I *love* when presenters are humble and don’t BS the audience. As long as you don’t overstate the scope of the course, I think you can totally “get away” with teaching something you enjoy and know something about even if you’re not the biggest expert in the room.
