Should I major in music therapy with a piano performance minor, or major in music therapy and then get a masters in piano performance from a more prestigious school?

My future career goal is to primarily be a music therapist and private music instructor, but I would also like to be a professional concert pianist, perhaps touring every summer or every other summer with a few gigs throughout the year. Technically, the only degree I need is a music therapy degree, but would a minor be necessary? Or possibly I could just major in music therapy and then maybe get a piano performance masters if I decide afterwards that I need one? Also then what college should I go to? I have met with a professional opera singer from the Met, and he emphasized connections in college and how important it is to have a recognized teacher, but I am having trouble deciding.

As a high schooler, how do I advertise and find students to teach piano?

I am a 16 year old junior in high school, and I am hoping to gain experience teaching private piano lessons. I have been playing piano since I was 4 years old, and feel that I am at a high enough level that I can teach students to a proficient level. I am going to major in music performance in college, so getting into teaching music would be useful for my future.

As a pianist, how much practice time should I put in on pieces for other people vs. My own lesson rep?

I'm a music education freshman and have picked up some accompanying jobs. I'm just wondering, in general, how much time should be spent on those pieces? #music #music-education #piano #pianist
