Interview Check

For my first interview, I will be interviewing a music teacher who used to perform live at shows before teaching a music class. His name is Chris Waters, and has been working with music since he was in high school. Eventually he started teaching a class down at The School of Arts and Enterprise in Pomona.
I would also ask him things like how would I better myself as a performing musician? How does someone get started in musical performance? Is there any specific aspect of a musical career that would fit me best?
