How very musical of you!
I think I'm using the oboe as a fail-safe. I know that I can be really good at it, and I know that with a BA in Music I will have something to fall back on... But no matter how much I'd LOVE to play in a symphony that performs film scores written by Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, Howard Shore, Klaus Badelt, and other greats.. I don't think it's where I want to go.
I think that I would much rather follow something that I've never done before. Something like trying to do musical theatre or trying to do Blast or trying to become a jazz musician. Something that I may have thought of or dreamed of.
And following a dream is tough stuff. Not an easy deal, by any means.
And I know that, although Megan is right in saying that Brevard College is not a challenge, I think it's a good place to be.. Because you get good teaching with the professors and small classes, you are learning the same stuff as far as getting the general BA in Music or anything really, and you get more opportunities. Brevard College is acclaimed in its own ways (music, theatre, art, wlee).. it's not a bad place to be. And I don't think that I will transfer because of that.
But I look at NCSA, or Mannes, or NYU, or Boston Conservatory, or UNCG even.. and I drool! Heh. Oh, but no. I just.. I think I would much rather follow a dream. And then use the oboe as my "damnit i failed, at least i still have this" safety net plan.
Random thoughts.
True, they say you change your major at least 7 times lol. At least I'm still within the realm of the arts. I'm curious about a theatre minor. MEH. I should just go decorate the tree lol.
