Chapter 12: Enjoying the musical career

As a music teacher, I must ensure that I keep myself updated with the latest technologies, updates of new methods of teaching and keep up my playing as well. That was just what I did.

When I began as an amateur teacher, I ensured I had an hour in between my classes to keep up my practices because I knew that I would be too exhausted to do any more practices at the end of the day. I also ensured that I kept up with the latest news and reports about teaching, classical music, music literature, etc. Those were the pre-internet days. Keeping up with all the latest happenings in the music world gave me great pleasure in my work and my journey as a musician. I was aware of many music teachers and performers who burned themselves out quick and left the career with no intention of returning. That is sad!

I also strived to ensure that I was fresh in my thoughts and ideas. My prayer ministry that began recently through my music ministry saw the surge of new power and new areas flowing for me. Being willing to learn, to share and to give, great gifts and ideas poured in abundance and I found myself totally immersed in the world of music with such intense joy, gratification and contentment. I knew it was totally a gift from God I had used rightly for Him and all His plans for me! I enjoyed my entire journey and will always do so with greater intensity as each day passes by.
