Format: Either
This log is: open
Location: Music room
Summary: Louis attempts to teach a class about music despite having forgotten how to play his own trumpet.
Warnings: May contain hideous screeching noises when Louis attempts to play his trumpet.

BEFORE CLASS
Louis was desperately trying to play his trumpet. Each time he touched it, though, a pain went through his head, and he had to withdraw. The one time he actually managed to bring it to his beak, all that came out were fairly unmusical screechings. His wings slumped. How could he teach if he couldn't even play anymore?

START OF CLASS
Louis stood in front of the classroom, trying to look stern. On the chalkboard behind him, he had written a question: "Who already knows how to play an instrument?"

[He nods. Merely mentioning music in general doesn't give him a headache, at least.]

[bloodandfire]

Well, I look forward to any and all lessons you will be giving us, I know very little about music, just that I enjoy it from time to time.

[He nods, then writes a bit more.]

Enjoying music is important to learning it.

[bloodandfire]

But you can learn many things without enjoying them.
