Keeping Music

Although I’ve gone back to pre-med instead of teaching music, I do hope music stays in my life. Other than listening to it, I plan on doing choir in college, and I want to do community theatre. The only problem with that is that I want a choir setting, and community theatre consists of musicals and plays. It will also be hard be involved in something as time demanding as local theatre because I plan to have a family some day.

            I do think it’s strange that people who have such a passion for something, and can find a job that pays you do your passion, still don’t go down that path. I love music more than most things in life, and I always have. It’ll be weird not to be involved with it everyday.

            The way I see it, music isn’t a job to me. It’s a pleasure. I would love to go to work at a hospital, and come home and relax while listening to music. I don’t want to do music all day, and then be sick of it by the end. I want music to remain a joy in my life, and I feel that choosing a career other than music will allow me to do that.
