I taught grade 7 - 13 music. And I hear you. It's not the teaching and the music that's the problem. It's everything else. The behaviour of kids, the politics, the cutbacks, having a ZERO budget, the marking, the stress, I could go on and on. I am currently taking time to raise my kids (2 and 4). Once my youngest gets into school, I'll consider something else. One thing I was looking into is Music for Young Children. It looks really neat. You don't even need a studio - you can run it from your own home. I've talked to parents whose kids are in it and just love it. I also like the idea of private teaching, but unfortunately, it's during the time when the kids are home - evenings and weekends. Anyway, just some thoughts. I'll post more if I think of it. Oh, I think the website for Music for Young Children is myc.com
