Garth Rempel, Music Teacher
My Job
Physical work
Believe it or not, being a band teacher is fairly physical. I often have kids complaining about how cold it is in my room and I rarely notice it. I'm usually sweating because I'm on my feet and teaching about music,
Talking about music requires a great deal of passion, a great deal of energy. So I'm moving all the time, II talk with my hands, I'm constantly waving my arms around as I'm conducting, or I'm playing an instrument, which requires effort.
I do have a stool that I sit on sometimes but I spend 85 percent of my day on my feet.
