I teach music at various different schools, and I really enjoy communicating with others. It brings me great joy to know that I've made a difference in these kids lives, and I take my responsibility as a teacher very seriously. I just finished directing a performance in church, and I've very proud of what the kids have accomplished in such little time. When it comes to teaching, or being involved with music, it's not about the money (or at least it shouldn't be.) It's all about finding a way to get through to your studets, in more ways than one. As a teacher, I'm a friend, but I also remember what it was like to be there age, and I know how it feels to want to belong, or to simply want to contribute in the worst way.

Hopefully I'll be able to get another band started soon, because when it comes to music, I'm always trying to expand my knowledge. And from spending time with others, you'd be amazed by how much you could learn. There are so many endless possibilities.
