I stifled my voice before, too: I earned and then lost my dream job in academia because I refused to play politics and instead, advocated for my students. And what happens when we’re betrayed by our dreams? 

 

We cut all ties. We turn our backs.

 

So I retreated to my retail roots, back to fashion, and joined the ranks of department store management, because I needed a job.

 

But music will always call you back from your hiatus.

 

Eventually, I remembered that I was not put on this earth to fold an unending and mountainous heap of cashmere sweaters.

 

I decided to put my expertise from 25+ years in academia to work in my private studio, and to put my inaccurate academic bias that private teachers were hobbyists to bed. 

 

As a result, I'm having so much fun. And so are my students.

 

Maybe music is your profession. Maybe it isn't. Maybe you'd like to adapt to a new perspective that places music firmly at the forefront of your life...back where it belongs.
