“I feel really confident that I can do this and make that happen.. The confidence in my ability to build a business and to grow and business is huge and also to be able to stand up as an example for other teachers in the area to say, yes you can make a good living as a musician, teaching and doing this thing that we all love and you don’t have to teach in public schools, you don’t have to win an orchestra job to do it. You can actually build it on your terms and you can set up the schedule the way that you can have a business that works in your life the way you want to do it.”
