I’m currently a classical voice performance major at a state school with a reputable music program. I just finished my first semester of my freshman year. I’m doing opera currently, and I do enjoy myself. However, I feel boxed in. My love of music comes from belting my heart out with my guitar and writing songs, after all. Even auditioning for jazz ensembles is frowned upon in my department, and classical voice is all that’s available at my school. I know that you can do a lot with a degree in vocal performance, but anything that could derail my technique study is frowned upon. I feel myself not singing all that I enjoy, even though I do like classical voice for the most part. Should I stick it out? Or am I wasting my time? I wouldn’t even know how to begin a search for possibly transferring and the whole idea of leaving my school terrifies me. However, I don’t want to look back on these formative years with regret. Any advice is highly appreciated!
Thanks
