an epiphany of sorts
...so,i had to pick up my niece from school today, i was sittin by the music room waiting for her to get out of class...and i heard little kids making music. The sound was so beautiful and it sent such an overwhelming vibe throughout my body that it brought me to tears. It was so amazing,i havent felt that way In ages,and with this experience today i knew. It was as if god had intended for me to be there hearing such beauty,it was as if god was telling me...THIS IS YOUR CALLING! Because lately ive been very unsure as to what I want to persue as a career,and today i made my decision.
Ive decided that I am going to become a music teacher:) Ive always wanted to work with youths,and I LOVE music. When i was a little kid i was always singing or dancing or tapping my foot,and as the years progressed i kept on doing the same. I see music as a powerful thing,powerful enough to change someones life,powerful enough to make a difference,and I know by me persuing music&teaching children&youth music...i can make a difference in this world. I am at peace,and happy.

Goodluck!! Do you have any theory background? Do you play any musical instruments? Do you know how to conduct? Three main requirements to teach music. Of course you can learn these skills but.. I know 6 girls that were in my grade who wanted to be music teachers.. and they all had the three requirements.

I love when something like this happens in life.
Sometimes I get in these weird moods where it seems like my life is completely empty of any kind of substance. Like I'm just killing time until I die or something. And i really hate that feeling. It's great to finally have a direction to move forward into. Having a purpose and goal makes everything seem so much more comfortable. So yeah, even though i don't think I know you (except from reading whatever you've written on here) I'm happy that you have found a direction and something to move forward with that you're happy with. I have a couple of directions and paths in my life that I'm looking into, but everything seems just out of my grasp right now. I suppose things will clear up in their own time, and I just have to wait it out. I do want to choose something that will leave my mark on this world though. My biggest fear is to be completely forgotten after I die. It's like i wouldn't have existed at all. I think you becoming a teacher is a fantastic idea, because you'll be leaving your mark in so many different places. Like I just think about all the teachers that have changed my life, they can be such an incredibly influence it's nuts.

What is so beautiful about youth is in its purity and innocence, and once you lose that, it can never be recovered. As much as I'm not a huge fan of kids, it's so important to try to surround yourself with that in some manner in your life- just to appreciate that.

You sound negative...almost as if your patronizing me. I personally dont think you need any "requirements" or "experience" in order to want to teach...the only "requirements" you need is love for the music,passion,ambition,an open mind,but most of all Riddim!. Last time i checked i have all of the above:)

More specifically, a PDP so that you're legally allowed to teach. If it was an epiphany and your life is forever changed, then go out and change it. There are no easy end-all solutions to the game of life. If you're just going to start up and then get bored with it after a few months, it's not so much an epiphany as it is an idea you had no intention on following through on.

I think it's a shame that music programs are the first to get cut in elementary schools nowadays. I mean how many of us secretly air guitar while driving or sing in the shower? We LOVE music, and wish so bad we could do it better. Just imagine a world where everyone could produce their own music, just the way they liked it. There would be no wars.
good career choice

i've had many "music is the best thing EVER" epiphanies.
but they were usually related to drug use and went something like this: "man, if everyone would just calm down and listen to music... life would be soooo like,... amazing and wonderful... music is like the life force of the world... ya! i love music... music is great.... mmmm.... music..... la la la.... .... ......................... what was i talkin about?" end epiphany
