Ms. ***** asked:

Now that the economy is in a huge slump, what do you think will happen to our careers as performers and teachers? If you have already retired or if you have tenure, what do you think will happen to the young ones?

I have noticed in some places, the concert attendance is slipping due to high prices. In some ways ticket prices are lowering.

How does this affect education? DO you see them booting music out of public school programs? I just wonder what other working musicians think on this subject. Usually arts programs are the first to go and that is scary for a growing musician.
