#1. As a GA, I get a bigger locker, access to lots of extra places, longer library loan periods, and an extra mailbox.
#2. People call me and want to spend time with me. People pay to hang out with me.
#3. Sometimes I get paid in zucchini muffins....that are delicious.
#4. Sometimes things get so intense that singers send spit flying across the room. Onto me.
#5. Sometimes I get to play for singers who are planning to sing for the Denyce Graves masterclass in a few weeks.
#6. My job description is making music with other people. In my teacher's syllabus/studio expectations, she concluded with "We are privileged people." Privileged, indeed.
Zucchini muffins and other people's spit on you. . . who knew Peabody could be so rewarding? M
