Why Go Into Music Education

The decision to go into music education was never really a decision of mine. There was never a definitive moment that I can look back on and say that it was the day I knew what I wanted to major in. This is accredited to the fact that I have been immersed in music for as long as I can remember, whether it be playing the flute, doing numerous musicals, or performing at Carnegie Hall with my chorus. I've always loved working with music, and as I grew older, I wanted to do nothing more than emulate my teachers who became mentors to me throughout the years.
Despite music in all forms being a deep passion of mine, I also am strongly invested in many other aspects of academic programs. I am very involved in politics, and sign up to lead debates
