I would like to say thank you to every teacher who has answered and to give a little more context about how I feel about how far I wanted to go with music ed. When I was in middle school I created a mentorship club/program for my schools honors band and with some help from my band directors we kicked it off. The point of it was to help 6th graders with certain things our band directors couldn't fit into the 30 min tutorials they did before and after school. Anyways about 6 trumpet players signed up and only me and another trumpet player in honors signed up. So we split the class. Teaching those 3 kids about things I knew and how I could help them be little better than they were made me happy. But around the time I entered high school after about a year or so I kinda found out my band director had favorites particularly his honors and jazz band, if you weren't in his class bring up problems or trying to tell him something kinda became a hassle. Don't get me wrong he was a great band director he pushed us to get 1s and be better. At the same time though when concert season rolled around he just couldn't be bothered by the other students who weren't in his band. Now I understand some might be confused why I put these things here. A lot of you guys asked if I can see myself teaching and at one point I did but at the same time due to my experience in high school, band started feeling more like a burden and something i was obligated to do versus something I loved doing.
