A day in the life of a musician

So what do we do when we’re not on stage performing?  Some might wonder what the typical day of a musician is, my instant answer (at least in my case) is–”There is no typical day”.  In addition to performing most of us have one if not several other jobs that we do.  For instance, I play horn with the Greenville Symphony (as well as others in the southeast), teach horn at a local college, and am also the librarian for the symphony.  My days can range from busy to downright hectic depending on what all is going on that week.  Finding time to practice, locate specific versions of music, teaching, bowing string parts (anyone want to sign a petition for free bowing???) all play a part in my day.  (as well as collapsing on my couch at home with my dog in front of the tv)  There is time for fun in amongst all that though, a friend at the office pointed me at this site and I frequently go back and visit.  Next to Maestro Tchivzhel, I think this is my next favorite conductor.
