Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 4637921, member: 127"] A neighbor kid when I was young was renowned for playing the French horn. She was asked to play in all these symphonies, concerts etc while even in junior high. She graduated in Music from Ithaca, moved to Boston to play in their symphony and other off shoots. However these type of steady ‘gigs’ in concert music are usually dependent on donations, subscriptions, and some government assistance. It wasn’t the steady, reliable, nor monetarily lucrative living that she needed. She ended up returning to college to get a degree in speech/occupational therapy and then played only on the side. I lost track of her after junior high but her parents would tell my mother all about her journey in music. (By the way when I was 11 or 12 she tried to teach me - I couldn’t even get anything other than air out of that thing):) [/QUOTE]
