I teach tuba and euphonium at a small State University. Also do marching band, concert band, supervise student teachers and what-ever else need to be done.

Generally the smaller the school, the more things you get (have) to do.

Playing and teaching music is very satisfying for me!

I teach chemistry at a university, with some tuba and singing freelancing on the side and during the summer.

I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Until then I work as a tech support analyst (help desk) for an insurance company.

My primary duty at the NIH is neuropathology. My secondary duties are general pathology and statistical analysis (as well as duties as assigned). I play tuba and string bass part time.

I study with the one and only Dr. Dennis AsKew at UNC-Greensboro (maybe he'll let me play the Vaughan-Williams now).

Doubt it.

Having just returned from two weeks in England... I am curious as to your definition of the term 'bloke'. Please elaborate.

Do I know you? Or, more to the point, are we related?

There aren't too many Denneys in the world, though there is a relative abundance of Dennys. (Of course, both come from the same root: 'Denn's, meaning "of the Danes" in medieval French, for Danish settlers in the Normandy and Brittany areas.)

I teach a variety of subjects at the Singapore International School in Saigon, Vietnam (yes, they still call it that). I am also a frelance tuba player, quite well-known in the ex-pat community as well as to the most of the serious musicians in HCMC.

I also write articles on pop culture of the 20th century.

I teach band and general music to very rural southern kids. My school is the only one in the county and we have 600 kids 4-12. The county seat has less than 1,000 people and the entire county is around 10,000.

At night and on weekends I play trombone and euphonium with our community band, varoius big bands, combos, quartets, quintets and a pro wind ensemble out of Nashville. I do pit work and copywork and teach private lessons, as well. I make as much money outside of my school setting as I do in.

I like to think I am a professional...

Along the same topic, what is it that you Bachelor's and/or Master's in Music Performance people do, who realized they needed a full time gig after the reality of the music business set in?
