I teach basic beginner guitar, drums and keyboard (to about grade 3 level Trinity Guildhall Rock School). I see between 65-70 people a week, 2/3rds in groups of two at a local school and the rest 1 on 1 at my home based studio. I have a waiting list and have had one for 2 years straight. This year I am expanding to included lessons based on GarageBand and Acid Express. I trailed this last year with good success. I also recored 3 EP style albums for clients that were a direct result of my lessons. I expect to do at least that or more this year. I am a New Zealand trained Boat Builder with Advanced Trade Cert (pre NZQA). The economy ruined my boat building business, but music teaching is booming. Due to a recent change by the current government in the level at which you have to charge and collect GST, this year I am expanding my business. Its aaallllllllll goood. :D

I teach freshman music courses in sight singing and ear training and work in an audio preservation studio at my university, all the while working on a PhD in music theory. I had a third assistantship up until this semester and I just had a room mate move out so I'm having to tighten the belt quite a bit at the moment. But I've been very fortunate to get the jobs I have while being in grad school. I'm hoping that I can time my graduation around when those old guard professors will finally be able to retire. Mostly I'm just happy I've chosen a career where I will always be exposed to and involved with all kinds of music.

permanent position with uncle sam, so things are stable for me, although I did recently transfer from CA due to the economy effecting many of the projects I was working on (projects were funded by CA state bond money and that all got frozen)

Sorry your unemployed. You been beating the pavement with your resume and interviews yes?

I compose music for dance companies and accompany dance classes for a living. I've also started teaching electronic music. The economy has made it harder, but I'm doing ok.

The company I work for are world leaders in the global fluid transfer market - making 'safety breakaway couplings' - the first in fact to succesfully cryogenicaly transer LNG ship-to-ship and to be passed by the chlorine institute of the USA beating all competitors and rivals.

Our unique couplers save gallons of noxious fluids being spilled over our green and pleasent land, saving countless lives and protecting valuable equipment and vessels...
