I have a confession. I HATE TO TEACH

I am grateful for all those people over the years who have put up with me in their studios while I attempted to fart out the Vaughan Williams for the 1,000,000th time. But, I cannot understand why they did it. I tried teaching some students when I first moved to DC and hated it. I did not feel the students gave a darn and I also feel that I am unable to convey a coherant thought to them in a lesson. I, once and once only, accepted an invitation to speak at a conference and was a blathering idiot the whole time. Felt like I was talking to a wall.

So, how do you teacher types do it? What keeps you motivated and do you really enjoy what you are doing? This has honestly baffled me for years.
