Tiny Signs

I've started teaching flute. It's something I said I wouldn't do again, but I guess you should never say never. I've had many tiny signs thrown up at me saying its time to make some kind of leap into music land for a long time, but over the past couple of months the tiny signs have turned into big Las Vegas style neon lights that I can't ignore any longer. So I started teaching, and I have actually enjoyed all of it so far. I hope I can get more students and do this more often.

I've had a pretty cush job in web design, but after a long day of designing, coding, tackling problems that I rather not tackle, unfamiliar corporate rules, I just feel better after hanging out with a student teaching them all the cool things they can do on a flute and all the different music we get to play. Its really helped me find an enthusiasm for music again. I hope it continues. So my goals have changed...at least the time frame. Things are going to be sped up, they have to. I'm obviously more happy as a musician, that's my calling.

Vegas, Baby!

The hardest thing about trying to become a full-time musician, is having an awesome day job. I have a fabulous job with fabulous people, not to mention the great perks like an all-expense paid company trip to Las Vegas. Sometimes I wonder if it would have been easier to make it as a musician had I not had this awesome fall-back....There could be worse things, I could be unemployed and starving. As far as I can see a great day job is the best problem to have.
