| "Do something that you would do for free. "
or as my trumpet teacher in college would say: " what would you want to do if you had all the money in the world and never had to work again?"
I am not trying to lead you where you dont want to go, it is just I hate to see people saying they dont have the ablities to do something when they might not have all the info they need yet to make such a decision.
I was pretty much in the same boat as you when i got out of HS. I wanted to be a BD but thought alot of the same things you did so i went pol sci at a school that didnt even offer a music degree. after one semseter I knew i had to be in music, so i changed schools and majors. after getting to a music school I found out there was alot more to music than just being a band teacher. So I teach band but i keep taking lessons on the horn trying to grow, I hope one day to go back for a DMA in trumpet and maybe teach at a college.
Lara, you might want to think about going to college as a music BA major for the first semseter or two then picking what you like best in music. There are alot of differnt types of degrees in music, you dont have to go either performance or education. If you go to college with the field of study picked out I think you will already be ahead of most people. |
