1. For someone working in your field, please describe the fantasies versus realities of the job.
(fantasy vs. reality)
The fantasy is that lessons come up without me having to work to find them. I have to make a lot of
connections in order to sustain a business. Lots of planning and work go into every lesson before I even arrive at
the house.
2. What is your current educational level? What continuing education and training are required?
(educational level and requirements)
Foremost I am a pharmacist, so I have completed quite a bit of schooling. In terms of music its been more of a
hobby that Ive developed upon. Being knowledgeable in music theory and knowing how to play several
instruments are all very important components.
3. Please describe the typical day to day activities of someone working in your field.
(day-to-day activities)
Usually I meet my clients at their homes and bring the appropriate instruments with. I usually hang around and
teachfor about an hour or two and then I return home. Most of my lessons consist of learning scales and then
applying them to modern music.
4. How secure are you in your current position? What do you think is the future of your field?
(job security)
My position requires constant work as I always have to find new clients. Its a job that I do for fun instead
of the money since its so unstable. The field in general I view as shrinking. The internet has been providing
accessible information to people who are wanting to learn about music.
5. What is a typical (average or lowest to highest) salary of someone working in your field?
(salary)
I usually charge around $25 an hour. Other musicians tend to charge more but since I view this as a
hobby, Im flexible with prices.
I find them through mutual friends, neighbors and social networking sites. Ive had clients range from
the age of 6 to 58.
