Some people just don't get it!
Today in orchestra I was trying to be a nice, kind section leader by tuning someones violin for him (he had been trying to tune it for 20 minutes, and it wasn't getting any better. (And I'll also mention that this is a 3/4 violin when he needs a full sized violin...) Anyway it very quickly becomes clear why this violin won't tune - the strings are several years old... So, I told him not to bother, and to get new strings (not to mention a new instrument) as soon as possible. At this point, he asks me if he should just throw te strings away; I told him yes but not till he had a replacement set on (seems clear enough to me). To end this story, he spent the last 30 minutes of class unstringing his violin..................

Changing topics, I'm currently not going to go into music education. Instead, I'm looking into criminal justice. (Yeah, I know, big change...)

Yeah, I'm thinking about it. (I'm still in 11th grade, so theres still time for me to change my mind again...)
But both my parents are teachers, and for as long as I can remember, I have not wanted to teach. So why set myself up for something I don't really want to do?
As for switching ideas to criminal justice/law enforcement, I love working with and training dogs, and that is my eventual goal- handling and training k9s.

The guy in your orchestra should get an award for being so stupid. I'm really laughing about that. I hope that his behavior is not what made you change from music education to criminal justice. Stupidity is not a criminal offense. Hahaha.
