Becoming a Music Teacher -2007

Posted in Uncategorized on June 16, 2006 by mickm

After many years of music industry experience I am coming close to the goal that i’d set myself along time ago to complete a music degree and the time is nearly here and I am very excited about teaching music in 2007. School music education is a great vehicle for developing and imparting knowledge. I also enjoy working with students with their performances and recitals and look forward to my future and what it may hold for me.
