For the past semester, I've been dead-set on being a music major again, no matter what. Music is my passion, especially performing and singing. And I have been accepted at The Hayes School of Music at Appalachian State University, as a Music Performance major (for Voice), which, evidently, is the most difficult major to be accepted for there.
But I've also been thinking about how little success I've had singing Classical music (other than Choral music), and how much more I enjoy singing the kind of music that 1.) They don't teach you in schools and therefore, 2.) You don't have to go to school for....The only other thing I could get out of going to said School of Music, would be a Music Education degree. Except that I don't exactly plan on being a teacher (just as a fall-back).
Which is what any other degree from any other school would be: a fall-back. So then, it doesn't really matter where I go, or for what, right? So why would I spend 4-5 years in school to get 1-2 two music degrees, therefore starting my career later...when I could spend 2-3 more years getting a different Bachelor degree or two, and graduate on time, therefore starting my career earlier, and leaving even more time for graduate school...? Is that logical? Or is that just my logic? If I don't major in music, I'd still be able to pursue a career in performance (I think), I just couldn't pursue a career in education...which I don't really want to do anyways. I think I'd rather try to land a career for a record company, or a radio station, or an entertainment company, or a film studio, or....something of the sort. Which I could do with any degree.
I'm so lost...ugh. Why do I continue to create these circles to run myself in?
I need guidance, feedback, advice, opinions!
I think I'm just being retarded. I know I will forever regret not majoring in music if I don't. I'm just worried that I might also resent it, for delaying the start of my career, if I do. Which, in 5-10 years will not even matter. And I've learned that lesson before. I guess I'll go ahead and remind myself not to make that same mistake again.
Thanks for the help!
