Hi!
I just wanted to say that yes, I am planning to have a career in music. I
actually want to have a double major, in music education, and
theory/composition. I have already written many songs for the choir piano and
clarinet including one of which will be sung by the choir next week at my eighth
grade graduation. Thanks for emailing me, I am considering taking lessons, and
it is great to get advice from musicans who have already been through what lies
ahead for me!
