I think I really value his skill and approach; he has his doctorate in percussion and he happens to be a music teacher in the elementary school and the middle school so I was surprised to hear that he wants my son to be on the performance track. Of course my son did tell him that this is his goal so I know he does not feel he is pushing him but supporting his desire. My son has expressed an interest in teaching, so this is not something I have pushed on him but now I sense that he would prefer to just go for the performance track and hope for the best. Of course he has time to change his mind, however I wonder if there is a way to do both a performance track AND music education track at the same time???
