- hostNote
- Teaching guitar wasn't the plan for **Lindy Day**. In her own words she never thought it would become her main thing, and now she reaches a wide social media following in what she calls microdoses of music. She still frames teaching the way she'd frame anything else she cares about: "it's really a job in people," not a job in knowing your inversions. We talk through how she built the confidence to teach, the intermediate plateau as a way of understanding students who feel stuck, and why she thinks curiosity about other skills keeps a musician sharp. She uses her own Japanese, conversational but not yet at the level where she can read a novel, as the example. The conversation also lands on what the pandemic changed. Lindy points to a fierce need audiences and musicians share to be back in a room together, and says she doesn't think age has much to do with whether someone can still become the artist they want to be.
