Music as a career?

[Tim SoulSurfer]

A career in music...I would like to become the next Beethoven or Mozart. I want to make music that is dessert to the ears and make the emotions of the depressed turn into the greatest joy they have ever had. When I walk down the street the music notes will be dripping off me like water after a shower. I want to conduct the greatest gathering of musicians. I want to play the keys in such a moving way that even gods would be impressed when they here my melodies! I think I can do that. I'm 16 and young with great musical ability already in my mind and fingers along with my DNA. I dare any of you to doubt me wrong on this then try calling yourselves musicians and realizing that your goal is similar to mine.

forget music, go into writing!!

on an entirely different note, me, myself, and I will never have a professional career in music because, although I enjoy it, I really don't take myself all that seriously and would much rather just have the joy of playing it instead of the stress of performing and making a career out of it.

It only stresses you out if you let it. I still have joy playing but that speech I made was right after I performed a big performance so I was still in the setting of super musician.

I am currently in school to get my Masters degree in both Education and Music so that way I can be a music teacher.

I have every intention of becoming the next Joan Sutherland.

(Not that it'll happen, but if I'm going to follow my dreams, I might as well dream big.)

I plan on graduating with my BM next fall, then going to whatever grad school accepts me/doesn't put me in debt for the rest of my life. If grad school falls through, I'll be auditioning for young artists programs and either keep trying for grad school or see where my career takes me.

(I do not want to teach. Maybe privately, but I would probably kill myself or my class if I had to direct a choir.)
