Hello,
I have been playing the cello for 14 years and I finally decided that I want to study music in college. I have studied with several private teachers and attended music camps every summer for the past eight years. The degree I am thinking about getting is either a BA or BMA in cello performance. Here's the problem: I'm afraid to tell my parents and also my current private teacher that I want to study music in college. I don't know how to bring it up to my parents because at one point in my life they said that music wasn't going to be my life. I'm also second-guessing myself as to whether I'm that good of a cellist that I can get into the colleges I want to go to.
Ok. These are the colleges I can probably get into:
- The School of Music @DePaul University
- Baldwin Wallace Conservatory
- The Department of Music @Miami University
Here's where I really want to go to college because I would absolutely love to study with a specific cello teacher here (but I'm probably not going to get in because the acceptance rate is only 26% (last I checked):
- The School of Music, Theatre, and Dance @University of Michigan
What does anyone know about the competitiveness of these schools and my chances of getting in them?
