4. What do you do for a living?

I adore the fact that there are 2 music teacher newbs on here!  Yeah!

What is your main instrument?

I'm a choir teacher, but also play reeds (flute, clar, sax, in that order) and mallet/aux percussion.  I started as a percussionist, fell into reeds and starting singing somewhere along the way.  When I was in NY, I played shows all the time, so that's really how I developed the reed chops.

You, too!  We are moving...eventually, so I have no idea if we'll be here next year.  It depends on DH's job.  And now with the baby coming, there are just sooo many unknowns.  It's frustrating, but there's nothing I can do.

I hear ya about answering that question!  I also play piano because I have to, but I suck at it.  I always forget to mention it when I tell people what I play.

I'm so sad that all my horns are sitting in the closet down here.  I miss shows and I miss playing!
