As long as we're on 'age' here, I've got a question....
I just turned 48 now, I have privately studied percussion, guitar, and have taken all the music classes I could get thru Community College (AA & AAS, 120 lower division credits......don't ask, I had NO mentor or decent counceling... bailed out on a music scholarship cause I thought I'd NEVER work... music teachers were getting the axe daily, everywhere too). I am now privately studying trumpet. I think in the next couple years I may be able to cut back to a part-time job and spend more time doing what I want to. I think I'd like to finish my music degree and play a LOT of trumpet.
I guess the question is: Can you even get IN a school, or are they going to save the seat for some younger person who has so many more years ahead? I could understand and will live on either way but these days I'm thinking real hard about it.
Thanks,
Greg C
