I'm finding myself in a rather interesting position. After 5 years
I'm finally graduating with a music education degree at the end of next
semester. Something I have picked up on from talking to middle and high
school directors is that many of them miss performing. This has me a little
depressed because I still love performing. It is a love that has been
developing over the last 13 years since I first picked up the instrament. I'm
not planning on becoming a college professor and I wish I had the talent to
play in a full time professional group but I don't. I like teaching anyway.
I know there are many music educators on this list and I was wondering how
you kept fresh and where you look to find performance opportunities. I hope
this isn't a stupid question. I know that if I can't find something then I'll
probably put a group together myself and try to get area band directors to
come and join. I'm curious as to what others on this list have done in this
situation.
