A lot of the skills that I had didn't really relate to anything I did at my internship. It was almost the end of the semester, and the students were doing more of a rehearsal then learning chords or how to play the instrument. I knew how to use a camera, and how to edit photos, so that worked in my favor. My skills in editing and photo taking got better over the course of LINK. I played a lot with contrasts and colors when editing these photos. My main challenge was finding stuff to do for the day, because I would finish my photos early. When I was done early, I took photos throughout the day, and I went back and re-edited some old photos that could've used some more, or I just thought didn't look as good.
Even though Stillwater wasn't for me, I think that they should take future interns on. It was an interesting experience learning about music lessons and how some teachers went about those during the day, whether they be private lessons, or full classes. If they do take on more interns in the future, they should plan out what the intern should do ahead of time, instead of coming up with stuff during the day. Stillwater wasn't for me, but it was interesting to intern there, and experience a side of the music industry.
Now that I know I don't want to major in music when I go to college, I want to try a major more on the liberal arts side. I was stuck between anthropology and music, and I chose music because I thought that was what I wanted to do most. My LINK internship has kind of set me back in college and career choices, because now I don't know if I will enjoy anthropology, or if I will want to try a whole other thing when it's time for me to go to college.
