How can I achieve my dreams?
I have tried several times to seek funding and have also approached individuals, but I haven't been successful. It's also very difficult to secure funding here in Tanzania, especially for those of us studying at the diploma level. Most funding opportunities are geared towards students pursuing degrees. If you can directly connect me with an organization that provides funding, I would greatly appreciate it.

Should I major in music therapy with a piano performance minor, or major in music therapy and then get a masters in piano performance from a more prestigious school?
My future career goal is to primarily be a music therapist and private music instructor, but I would also like to be a professional concert pianist, perhaps touring every summer or every other summer with a few gigs throughout the year. Technically, the only degree I need is a music therapy degree, but would a minor be necessary? Or possibly I could just major in music therapy and then maybe get a piano performance masters if I decide afterwards that I need one? Also then what college should I go to? I have met with a professional opera singer from the Met, and he emphasized connections in college and how important it is to have a recognized teacher, but I am having trouble deciding.

What are the requirements to be a band teacher ?
I'm in highschool in my junior year and ever since I've been little I've always loved band. It's something I am really passionate about and I've really considered making it my career. I love teaching people about music and how to understand or learn about it. It makes me happy and I'm already reaching the point to where I have to choose what I wanna do the rest of my life and I want to become a band teacher for middle schoolers. The problem is I don't know how to get there or the things I have to do to even start. And I will really appreciate any advice.

What are some tips for finding an internship in college?
Hello! I'm a rising junior, and I'm trying to look for internships for summer 2025. I'm not sure on my major, but was thinking maybe music or art. I was wondering how you get an internship for something in this field -- or if it's better to just focus on a portfolio. Does it matter what the internship is in, or does it just look good to have anything? Ideally I'd like something music related (really anything) AND to make a good portfolio. But I'm not sure where to start with finding internships in that field. Thanks!

What are the pros and cons of being a famous singer?
I see my favorite singers in music videos dancing and on world tours and concerts singing and having a blast and making lots of money. But I’ve also seen some of my favorite singers become depressed or angry because of the public (Doja Cat). Also she said that she’s a cash cow in one of her songs and I then found out you don’t make all the money you earn and most of it goes to the record label you work for. I want a list of pros and cons to see if my dream will really not be all that great.

How do I find people to help me with my songwriting ?
I’ve been writing songs for about 3 years and I honestly think they’re not that bad but I don’t know if they’re good either which sometimes leads me to getting rid of them. I would show it to my family members or friends but none of them are as passionate about music as I am so I want to find someone who shares the same passion as me. I just don’t know how to find them.
