I just read your answer to someone wanting to major in music saying and I quote music Majors don’t necessarily support themselves making music. Are you kidding? Have you seen the number of music teachers in elementary middle and high schools have you seen the band competitions have you seen College bands have you seen College music schools that have upwards of 40 to 50 people who majored in music as professors? I’ve been a music therapist for 40 years and I’ve made a pretty darn good living making music. Most of us do! I was so disheartened to see that you published in a paper that music Majors can’t necessarily support themselves. Thank you for putting the nail in the coffin to trying to get music Majors to come to universities.
