I have looked up music therapist on a website that my school uses to help kids see what type of career they would like to do and music therapist isn't in it. Instead i found Music teacher/instructor and they make $25,000 – $50,000 with benefits. Don't know if that helped but it was worth a chance.

I enjoy reading both types of books
Yes, I read light books like Gossip Girl, The Clique, Twilight, and some Nicholas Sparks novels.
But then again I'm only a 16 year old girl :)
I also love to read books with a little more depth and emotion. My favorite all time book is Lovely Bones which I think is heart wrenching. I also love In Cold Blood, Angela's Ashes, and The Scarlet Letter
Most of them I've had to read for school, but I really do enjoy them nonetheless.
I think people should be able to read whatever they want. Reading stimulates the brain, it helps people imagine, create, and decipher. I think all books should be taken seriously.
Books give people the ability to imagine and see things play out in their heads and that's awesome.
Reading difficult books can be stressful at times, trying to figure out the plot and such. So it's nice to just kick back and enjoy some light, fun reading for a change

The Morning Gift by Eva Ibbotson. I've had it on my shelf for months and months and for some reason I haven't starting reading it until now. I wish I had picked it up sooner, it's pretty good.
