I'm currently in my freshman year of college as a music education major. When looking at colleges, I knew I wanted to major in music. I decided on choosing music education, primarily because of pressure from my music teachers at the time and my parents because they want me to get a good job after college and not stick them with my loans. Now my school is somewhat expensive and I'm studying with world class percussionists. But I dread my education classes and really have wanted to pursue performance right from the beginning. It is what I really love and I cannot seem to convince my parents to let me take the risk. I do understand their side of the story but I cant stand what I'm doing right now. After college I am okay with taking the resposibility for the loans because it is my education, therefore my responsibility. Any ideas on how I can get my parents to let me pursue performance?
