That's amazing! I realized long ago that I would rather have poor students who are motivated than rich students who are there for the prestige value of being involved in music. The problem, of course, was finances. Nowadays anyone sensible enough not to get a vaccine for an endemic disease that kills less than 1 percent is being forced into the shadow economy you mentioned earlier. In a twisted way, I'm grateful for the Plandemic because it proofed me against worst case scenarios. My business seems to have survived the worst case scenario for now. As of January I was resolved to close my commercial space and move one piano to my home and the other to my parent's house and teach out of both of those spaces. What the experience has taught me is to let go of needing to make that commercial rent every month. I'll teach music pretty much until the day I die as that is my karma from past lives of being an arrogant music entertainer who denigrated music teaching. Finances will never get in the way of me and my students because I won't let them. If I end up in a homeless camp, it simply means I'll start the best ever homeless person choir in existence LOL. Teaching music is a karmic sentence I serve out joyfully.
