The conductor thanked for more than 9 thousand followers and wrote that he is pleased with their affection but at the same time a little scared. He mentioned that he often deletes his posts and one, in which he posed as a security expert, he nearly deleted three times already. He wrote that sometimes the number of likes unsettles him and that he tries to speak and write sincerely. He stated that he graduated from a conservatory, is a professional performing artist, and can teach due to a legal exemption. He also described that he was taken aback when the mother of one of his students, a university professor with approximately five degrees, addressed him as a respected teacher. According to him, he felt insecure because of the difference in education. He added that his own school results were weak and that he only recently began to consider himself a teacher who is respected by students. The conductor further wrote that he started writing a book after his eighty-year-old mother told him about the success of his cousin Patrik Banga with his book. Family concerns interrupted his work on his own manuscript, but according to the conductor, he did not give up on it. #Děkuji #Umění #Sledování (translated)
