This week will undoubtedly turn out to be one of the most life changing few days in my professional career. For a while now, I’ve been thinking of taking the plunge and becoming a fully self-employed musician and teacher. Nobody to answer to but myself (and of course, Sian!). No boss. No guaranteed salary. As you can imagine, it’s been a tough decision, and one that has involved a lot of self-doubt and trepidation.
Long story short, I mentioned my new venture to my colleagues at Giles Academy, who have been very supportive and helpful in helping me make this decision. Needless to say, this process suddenly became very real. It’s almost like it was taken out of the ‘Things to do at some point, eventually... If you get round to it.’ part of my brain and transformed into an exciting (almost unused) part: ‘I hope this works!!’.
I’m sure it will! For as long as I dare to remember, I’ve dreamed about setting up my own business. Being able to have the flexibility to be involved in the music and education industries is somewhat of a privilege. One that I’ll cherish. Building something from scratch, watching it develop and helping people get access to music tuition is something that is both exciting and rewarding. I can’t wait to get cracking!
Now all I need is some more pupils.... Any offers?!
