Should I consider a career as a college/university/conservatory professor?
After some consideration, I have wondered if perhaps a music professor would suit me? What does being a music professor include (lifestyle, work-life). Could I teach multiple instruments (specifically piano and voice)? What degree requirements would I need to have? How does one become a professor, and specifically how do I become a professor of multiple instruments? Is performance a part of the job? How often would I perform each instrument (voice and piano)? Thank you!

I have a good idea on my current required courses, but I am interested to know something about the job. What are the current standards in Ohio for historical education? Is there a regimented standard for the entire state, or it per school to decide? I am thinking of classes like World History, American History, or Government. If there are standards on the state level, how does a teacher usually find out when they change? How can I view those standards? Thank you all for your time. #Spring25
