It is worth it to keep music in my life as I pursure college and careers?
All throughout k-12 school, music has been a big part of my life. Playing principal clarinet in numerous all-state events and solo contests throughout my high school career has been a big part of my life. However, I am probably going to pursue science in college, and I am wondering if I should keep playing at all. After all, knowing scales and etudes isn't going to help me much in a field of physics or neuroscience. Should I go with my brain and drop it, go with my heart and keep it, or do both somehow? #music #clarinet #neuroscience #science #physics #stem #double-major

What is the hardest part about being a music teacher, and what is the best part about teaching music?
I'm planning on getting my degree in music education (possibly with a choral specialization) and I'm curious as to what the most difficult and most rewarding parts of teaching music are. What can I expect when I start teaching? Are there any skills I can start working on to help overcome difficulties, and what should I keep in mind as I work on my degree and as I enter the classroom? Is there anything you wish you had known? I've had a lot of experience with choral music, and I'm a student director for a younger ensemble (9-12 years old). This is definitely my passion-and definitely my future job- but I was curious about the experiences of professional music educators on the topic. Any advice you could give me would be appreciated, and I look forward to hearing more about my future career. #musiceducation #music #music-education #choral-music #questions #teaching #teacher
How can I market myself best as a choral music educator?
I'm a junior in high school right now, but I know that I'm destined to be a music teacher. I mostly have experience in a choral setting, and that is my true passion, but I know not many schools will hire someone who only has a choral background or will hire them only as a general music educator. I know that this is what I want to do with my life, but how can I appeal to larger numbers of schools? Are there any specific classes or certifications I could get in addition to my degree? #music #musiceducation #musiced #teaching #choral-music
How Hard is it To Balance Two Careers?
My two biggest passions in life are music and technical theatre. Because most people in the theatre tech/design world aren't on salary or have a fixed work schedule, I'm curious to know if I could handle being a performing musician as well. In a small, community orchestra (trumpet player). I've declared a minor in music, along with having been accepted into a prestigious theatre design/technology program. Would this work out appropriately? #music #trumpet #music-performance #theatre
What are the benefits of a double major when considering post-graduate education or the job market?
My name is Ben, and I'm planning on majoring in Molecular Biology, with plans on going to med school. However, because of my passion and talent in music, I am seriously considering to pursue a second degree in music. But after doing some research, I am unsatisfied with the results I have found. The results online seem very vague and obvious. Of course taking more classes means potential for longer time of graduate/increase in tuition and loss of focus/time. Of course it exposes you to new ideas and concepts. Therefore, I am still confused about whether there are tangible benefits, if any, of pursuing a double major. Therefore, my question is: What are the benefits of a double major when considering post-graduate education or the job market? Specifically, what scholarships/grants are available for double majors? Does having a double major give applicants an advantage when going into med school or competing in the job market? #biology #music #job #medicine #college-major #college-advice #double-major
Should I start a recording studio while pursuing an undergraduate degree?
I'm majoring in Molecular Biology, and I'm planning on graduating in three years, not necessarily for prestige (though that would be cool!) but mainly because of costs. Using my AP courses, I would likely take 18 semester credit hours a year to complete the required courses on time for med school, so I'm looking forward to a busy schedule. With that in mind, I was looking for ways to make money. And so I remembered the stories I've heard of doctors who played instruments in their free time, or some physicians even starting their own studios. From that point, I thought, "What better way to fund college than doing what you love?" After recording a solo viola track for my mother's birthday with a trial AT2020 large condenser microphone, I realized that this could become so much more. It felt amazing being an audio engineer for a day and going through my own music with a digital audio workstation; you could even hear the smile I wore while performing! I believe it can have the potential to pay for itself and a little bit more towards college, but I don't have concrete numbers. The catch is that financing this equipment can be expensive, and the time commitment from taking many classes and working could prevent me from starting a recording studio. From what I've gathered online, some websites promote making music in college, but they don't go into specifics about cost-benefit ratio. Therefore my question is: Should I start a recording studio while pursuing an undergraduate degree? I apologize for the lengthy request, but nevertheless I thank you for taking your time to consider answering my question. #college-advice #music #time-management #passion #medicine
How can music marketing play into a career involved with high school band and the marching activity?
As an eventual music education major, I have researched possible minors, and one school in particular, UTSA, has a new minor in music marketing. I wanted to know how an experience in music marketing would benefit a career that is still involved in the marching arts activity. #music #music-education #marketing #career
What is the best career in music education other than being a band director?
I love the band activity as a whole, but I am also aware that being a music educator doesn't provide a stable financial ground for a family. I want to know if there is a career in teaching younger people how to tap into their musical abilities other than being a band director. #music #music-education

Should I go into the business career or should I follow my dreams.
My parents always pressure me to aim high and get a good job that pays me well. My dreams are to become an idol, singer, dancer, actress, model (mainly more into the entertainment industry which is really hard to get into). My parents do not agree with my dreams and rather have to go into marketing/business or a career/industry that will "provide me with better financial". I only have one life and I don't want to make the wrong choice. Growing up I had always loved performing on stage and showing my talents. At the same time I want to open up a café or shop later down in my life too. What should I do? #Dreams #career #music #marketing #business #celebrity #modeling #goals #motivation

Study Abroad studying a double-major in Music Performance and Business Administration?
I want to become a Property Manager but also I have been playing the clarinet for 9 years and I have filled a decent musical curriculum attending to music festivals, summer camps, playing in various ensembles; advanced orchestras, symphonic bands, professional orchestras, etc. My main goal is to study abroad either in Italy or Spain a whole year, having in mind that I would be studying a double major in two distinct fields. My main concern is if it is possible to do so. #study-abroad #music-performance #music #italy #spain- #spain #clarinet #property-management #business-management #busines
Should I study a double major in Music Performance and Business Administration?
I want to become a Property Manager but also I have been playing the clarinet for 9 years and I have filled a decent musical curriculum like playing with numerous ensembles, professional orchestras, youth advanced-orchestras, attending to summer camps to tutor and participate, etc. My main concern is that these two mayors are in two unrelated fields, which means my time management and classes are going to be hard, at least that is what I have heard. #music #music-performance #clarinet #bussiness #property-management #double-major
