What other jobs might you be interested in if you weren't so busy writing music?

n the field of music, if I weren't so busy, I would return to teaching. I'd also really like to coach chamber music or conduct.

Outside of music, I'd really enjoy working in a library, however one that is pre-computer! I love to work with file cards. I would also enjoy making furniture. Of course, I don't know how; but I'd love to learn.

If I had even more time, I'd be an athlete. I used to run long distance but then family and professional obligations just took over. I would run marathons. Of course, I'm running one now, aren't we all!

[Ed. Note: On April 6, 2000, Melinda Wagner's "Wing and Prayer" for clarinet, cello, percussion and piano, will be performed at Kean University (Union NJ) by Jean Kopperud, Chris Finkl, Dominic Donato, and Christopher Oldfather.]
