Hi Cherylk- I just saw your post from yesterday. Glad you are home safely and hope you had a great time in Florida. My daughter is working on getting her Master's degree in Music Education. She is a violinist- she really loves teaching and that is her primary focus. There is a chance she may get a teaching job at a local high school for next year if all the stars align. The orchestra teacher who has been at that school for 35 years or so is retiring and she did her student teaching with him. He called her in the fall and really wants her to take over the program. She subbed for him a couple of weeks ago and they had the assistant principal come in and watch her and she wrote her an incredibly glowing note about her teaching. But if that doesn't work out, she'll continue her Masters full time. If the job comes to pass, she plans to work on it in the summer and in the evenings. My husband and I are both retired from this school district and worry about what politics may interfere with this grand plan, but I keep her in my prayers every day and ask God to lead.
