<human>: I am doing a research project on people who are in the music world today, doesn't matter if they are a teacher or not, if they sell music at a store, work with kids on the weekends to teach them music, I just need some info from people who are in the world of music atleast part time and have atleast a bachelor's degree in music. I know reddit is about anonimity so if you would like to create a throwaway account to answer the questions I understand or if you would just like to pm me that works as well because the questions I am going to ask do get onto a defining level. Plus I will need a name, so I know that discourages many, but any and all help is appreciated.

What is your current role in the music world?

Describe the training that you went through from your childhood to where you are now.

What courses in college did you find valuable and why? How much did you practice as a student and how did this relate to your later success? What musical role models did you have and how have they inspire you? What were the strengths of your chosen college and how did that shape your education?

What is the value of your work? What is the importance of Classical music in today's society? What percentage of your time in your job as a musician is spent rehearsing or performing and, most importantly, how does this satisfy the musician in you? What about music inspires you? Should all public school and/or college students be taught about Classical music—why, and what should be the content of these courses? How did your education prepare you for your current job? How does popular music influence your current music making?

I apologize for the length of the questions, but it for part of some research that we are doing and your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you all again for any and all answers.

Could you distill the essence of the text into 1-3 sentences?
