He took a liking to me and is going to be showing me some recording techniques and wants to play with me all for free instead of me having to take a course. Pretty awesome.

Congratulations, Frownland! I know exactly the feeling of a professor appreciating your music. Certainly you will have a great time.
That reminds me a lot on my entrance exam where half of the commission declined me and my teacher would tell me in advance that she would want me to be her student.
Within one single month I changed the technique I had used 11 years and my playing improved siginificantly, though, I'm practicing a lot. The efforts will be amply rewarded.
At a meeting in Denmark my recorder professor has already told the resident main professor about me - I'm not even an official student and she plans Erasmus-exchanges!
