A Little Taste of the Future

Today I assisted my injured private instructor in her most stressful even of the year: The Junior High Solo & Ensemble contest. I got to take on the role of band director by handling judge’s copies, tuning students, making sure the accompanist got there and everything ran smoothly. This is everything I would do if I were truly a band director taking my own students to competition. It felt empowering, I felt mature and most of all, it felt right. Lately I've been lost and worried about my future and what I want to do with my life. I've become more and more confident that music education is the correct choice for me. Music and teaching are both my passion. What a reassuring day.
