Kevin:
I know I am young and inexperience, that is why I am asking you guys
these questions. Though, I never said I planned on making a living
playing my clarinet. If I were to get a performance degree, I would be
playing in a military band for X amount of years. After that I would
want to get my teaching degree and teach after the military. I also
have other plans if I decide not to go into music.

Michael:
Yes I am absolutely willing to get better at my skills at being a
musician and at playing my instrument. I will concentrate and practice
to enhance my abilities.
