i'm glad you talked to your teacher....but i'd thought i would put in a couple of more thoughts
you're young.....you dont have to teach NOW....you can teach later if you want to explore the performing more
i would recommend going to graduate school
also teaching highschool band might not be that bad if you teach at the right kind of highschool.
i played the flute in both highschool and college. i went to Enloe highschool here in Raleigh which is a well known magnet highschool in north carolina. my teacher mr jenner (though a complete jerk at times) was one of the best directors i have ever played under. he really knew how to get the best out of his students. the students i played with were also some of the most talented muscians i have ever played with in my entire life, a lot of which have gone on to be music majors
college however, was a complete nightmare. since i go to NCSU which is mainly the ag and engineering school in NC, it didnt have much for a music department. my director was completely incompetent, and i was one of the better flute players there (which really really really isnt saying much). we played songs that i actually played in the 8th grade. and i just got so fed up with it that I stopped out of doing band after my freshman year in college.
Point: dont necessarily write off all highschool programs, and dont automatically assume that any college teaching job is a good one
