(2) Music Teacher

As you might have guessed, music teachers teach music! But that teaching can take on many different forms. Some are vocal coaches, some teach instruments, some teach music theory, and some do a combination of different types of teaching. Some music teachers are tied to a school or a business and some teach music independently.

The career path you take as music teacher can vary greatly. It simply depends on the kind of teaching that interests you most.

Music Teachers in Schools:

Most of us have had experience with these kinds of music teachers. As a school based music teacher, you will rove from classroom to classroom providing music instruction. The exact curriculum you cover will be dictated by the school district and the grade levels with which you are working. Usually there is a heavy emphasis on vocal instruction and music theory.

Some schools have elective music classes that go a little deeper into music - teaching instruments, working more on music theory, and so on. Music teachers may also be responsible for devising school musical productions and/or coaching the school band.

Music Teachers in Businesses:

Some music instrument shops have in-house music teachers. This set-up can work in a few different ways:

• Independent music teachers may "rent" space in the shop, like an independent hair dresser rents salon space, and set their own prices

• Workers in the shop may teach music on the side in the shop and share income with the business

• The business has dedicated music teachers on staff

Again, these music teachers may handle vocal instruction, instrument instruction or all of the above. Lessons may be private or group.

Private Music Teachers/Independent Music Teachers: As mentioned in the section above, sometimes, independent music teachers can work in a specific location, renting out space. Other times, private music teachers travel to the homes their students or teach lessons out of their own home. In terms of the subject matter, working as a private music tutor is the same as working in a school or business - you can teach whatever aspect of music you have the most skill and feel comfortable teaching. The difference is that these music teachers are self employed. Sometimes, private music teachers teach music as a second job, and some do this work full time.

Qualifications Required to Be a Music Teacher: The qualifications you need to be a music teacher depend on the career path you choose. Of course you will need to be proficient at the subject you're teaching, but if you are self employed for instance, there is no outside vetting process that you need to pass before you advertise your services as music instructor (though judgment will be passed soon enough if your students aren't thrilled with your know-how!). On the other end of the spectrum, to work in a school, you'll likely need a degree, preferably music related, and depending on your location, possibly a teaching certificate as well.

11. An educated man and computer

The educated man of 50 years ago did not need to know anything about computers. But the educated man of today needs to have at least some significant knowledge of science, and about computers.

The world has changed since the first computer was introduced. However, only in recent years, in an astonishingly accelerated way, computer technology has become more and more complex and multifunctional within our society. In the beginning, the computer was a huge monster, occupying an entire room. Nowadays, the more efficient a computer gets the smaller they become.

Business needs powerful computers to save their client and customer data. So, they have to use computers to sell more and in a quick way, making people very satisfied. It would not be possible if they did not have computers.

Schools and universities also use computers to assist students and for research. The government would be slower in serving citizens without computers, because they provide storage for citizen's data and enable the processing of their demands. More than ever Health assistance has been integrating technology into its treatment and therapy. Services, entertainment, and many activities worldwide, are using computer technology to improve themselves.

Nevertheless, the chief aim of the computer technology industry is the individual. Personal users must be conquered, because they higher revenues and hold the biggest demand for electronics. That is why Microsoft, Google and Apple are millionaires; aiming to grasp individuals firmly, they grant people access to the World Wide Web, and not only this, they seduce people in way that young and old alike cannot escape.

My point, people are addicted to computers and currently cannot live without them. That is unavoidable!
