Hey guys!! I’m 21 and I just recently decided to switch my major to music (I’m in a community college at the moment so there isn’t like a specific associate for me, but I am working to study for vocal music!!!) and I’m kind of overwhelmed by how behind I feel. I have been singing all of my life and I’ve played clarinet, guitar, and ukulele before when I was far younger, but it was only recently that I decided to make the switch.
My boyfriend is in school to be a choir director and it really encouraged me to try out a choir class at my college just for fun, but now I’ve found my passion in music and am switching over after I finish my art degree next semester.
I think the main point of this post is honestly that I’m very scared that I’m too far behind to get anywhere or to learn anything and catch up with my peers who have been studying music for years and years. I know the advice would be to practice and practice, which I absolutely am doing! I love practicing and I’ve started to actually learn to read notes (I never really understood them even when I was learning my instruments). I’m taking a piano class this semester as well to help me, but I’d love to know if anyone has any other advice that may help me play catch up?
Deep down somewhere I’m just worried I’m making the wrong choice and that it’s too late for me. I’d love if someone would tell me otherwise.
(ALSO I’m on mobile I’m so sorry if this is just a giant wall of text :( )
