So,
what happened to my musical career that was plotted out
when I left College? Well, life happened…. a lot
of things became more important than music, and things
I had thought up until then was important became less
important. Just like a lot of people experience when they
are at that age. |

Over
10 years after finishing Music College I was asked
if I wanted to join a marching band. I had never
played any wind instruments at all, but could
read sheet music and find my way on glockenspiel,
lyre and a variety of rythm instruments and ended
therefore up on 'melodic percussion instruments'.
The marching band was my way back to music and
I had great fun those years I was a member. Then
in 1999 life took another turn and I ended up
in London. In 2004 I joined a group that sets
up Christmas pantomime, musicals and concerts,
Barking Operatic Society, and I thoroughly enjoyed
being part of a British Panto for the first time
in my life. The dancing became too much for me
though, so I decided to leave after end of 2004. |

So,
to sum this up: I did not become a music teacher, nor
did I become an orchestra musician. My
brother was the only one of us three that made a career
out of music, here is his web-site presenting him and
his music: www.callereiler.com.
I, on the other hand, have enjoyed many years of music
as an amateur and will probably continue to do so one
way or the other. |
