can i be a choral director if i don't understand music theory?
i'm a rising senior in high school, and i tried to take ap theory last fall. now that ap tests have rolled around, i have realized i remember little to no music theory, and i am having major issues understanding this stuff. i want to be a choral director, and i am under the direction of one of the best choral directors in the south east us, but i honestly don't know if i can do it because of my lack of skill in theory. should i just give up?
i suggest you ask the "best choral directors" in the southeast united states about their credentials and whether they think you would make a good choir director without bothering to improve your understanding of music theory. the "best choral directors" i know were ones that attended a university or college to get a music degree that would require them to study music theory among other things. choral directors in schools generally have teaching degrees as well.

the american choral directors association actually has a student membership for high school and college students who intend to seek professional careers as choral directors. it's intended as a resource to connections and programs that will aid in students gaining the experience and knowledge necessary to become successful and effective conductors.

here's a list of prominent choral directors--read what kind of music education and training they have.

check out the requirements to even get into a music program at most universities. without any, or little, formal training, you will be going up against those with training for any choral directing job you may want. i picked random colleges and universities in the southeastern united states.

are we counting singing count as an instrument? if we are, i'd choose that all the way. you can get a job much easier as an expert singer than a guitar player. likewise, there are physical limitations, like octave ranges, that limit a person as a singer. on the other hand, guitarists/drummers/etc. all have a pretty even playing field. given the vocals are generally at the center melodic line of any western music, being a fantastic singer gives you a lot of room to work with.if we're not counting vocals as an instrument, i'd say drums. i'd want to stick to something in rock/metal, since that's what i like to listen to/write. there are lots of already master-level guitarists out there. for drums, there are a lot of great drummers, but there aren't as many master-level ones i'd argue. you can get a gig in most places if you're a drummer with gear and chops. i think guitar is something that starts off hard and then gets easier as opposed to drums, which starts off easy, and then gets wickedly hard with the top-tier stuff. thus, if i had some magical cheat ability to be a beast at one instrument, it's better to pick drums-- it's more effective long term. i entered with no major (the "no major" option in community college is "liberal arts"). then, i majored in film after finishing the gen ed courses and going to university. (yeah, i knew it was risky, but i figured i didn't want to regret what i chose in college and wanted a career i could enjoy more than a safe bet.) after six months, i realized that film school is very stupid. but also, they're full of super-woke lefties, so i got the f*ck outta there.i switched my major to english; which is a more employable, more broad version of the same thing. i always wanted to be a writer and producer (still do; honestly; i've written a lot and come up with many show ideas). you can get a job as an entertainment writer with an english degree, but also do so much more. i was wrongfully expelled from my first university and spent three years in a lawsuit against them, which messed up my rate of getting a degree by a lot. i had to start most of my classes all over again in a new university while waiting on the lawsuit. by the time the lawsuit settled out of court for a measly $43,000 (which had a stipulation in it that all of that had to go towards school and tuition; i couldn't get to keep anything for myself), i graduated, and went for my masters in english for another two years. i only just got my masters in may of 2019. so i switched my major twice. now i'm a teacher in korea with a masters in english. i don't regret it, but the unjustified expulsion and lawsuit really f*cked up my path in life by three years. i'm not a teacher but i agree with what one of the male posters said. it's not whether he'll be flattered or take it the wrong way, it's whether someone else might take it the wrong way and think y'all have an inappropriate relationship. even if no one else overhears, he's still in an awkward position, because telling you a simple thank you might be giving you encouragement to flirt more (not saying you are actually like this), and not saying thank you might make you mad enough to try to get him into trouble (again, not saying you are actually like this). i would just leave it alone. Hello  

  

You don’t have to do anything special to change cognition. There are a lot of tests to check for adhd and specific learning disabilities. Based on the results, the teachers will tailor to your son’s needs. finding a wife. might leave the bay area for it (among other reasons)career wise i’m not too ambitious. i’m already l5 and would be 100% happy with that comp outside of the bay area. not sure if principal/l6 is worth the added stress.

 thank you A.  You wouldn’t go to a pediatrician if you had cancer. You wouldn’t go to a kidney specialist if you had heart trouble. All doctors are not alike. Sometimes we have to go to the right specialist to get the help we need. In your case, you need both a psychiatrist and a therapist who work together to get the right care.


The treatment of choice for your problems is a combination of medication and talk [therapy](https://psychcentral.com/psychotherapy/). [OCD](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/ocd/) and [anxiety](https://psychcentral.com/disorders/anxiety/) disorders can be treated and managed successfully. Generally, patients see their therapist weekly and, after an initial period of weekly visits to get the medication right, they see their psychiatrist every few months. When the two professionals are working in the same practice, they are able to confer with each other easily and work together to give you good care.



I understand that you have been afraid to see a mental health professional because of your grandfather’s experience. But treatments have changed considerably since your grandfather’s time. From the little you shared, I also suspect he had a much different problem.


To find a specialist, ask your primary care doctor for a referral to a practice. You can also go to the “Therapist Locator” on the homepage of PsychCentral.


Please don’t hesitate to make an appointment for an initial session. The clinician will listen to your story and will make suggestions. (Take your letter with you if you want to jump start the conversation.) You are under no obligation to follow through with the treatment plan that is proposed. But I hope you do. You’ve suffered far too long.


I wish you well.  

Dr. Marie


I Have Struggled for Years HM ok, another day, another try, but I gotta say: The seemingly endless lessons about numbers and numbers on top of numbers and more numbers are really disencouraging me a lot.
