I want a career in music...but can I get it?


Question Posted Sunday June 26 2011, 2:54 pm

Music is an important part of my life. I know it one of the things I could never live without. I play two instruments and have a few hundred songs on my ipod(it's an old nano so it's almost completely full). I especially love to sing and play popular songs on the piano. I always have fantasies of how I can become a famous singer even though my parents would never agree to it. One day in the car, my mom, brother, and sister, and me were singing to a song on the radio. She was joking around about how we could have a sibling band, but then she was like, "Too bad none of y'all can sing." Just fyi, i sing alot in the car and at home. I asked her if my singing was bad, but the only answer I got from her was something about how I don't compare to some of the famous singers. Should I give up my dream to sing or should I just try harder???

NO! What I can hear is that Music gives you a lift that other activities dont. You sound like you get a great release and will find that if you give up music, you wont cope as well with stress in life.

My advice is, you may or may not be a great singer, but you are passionate about music and play two instruments.

Consider music therapy as a career. This is when you help people maybe sick children or people with depression and disabilities or people who cant talk to express themselves and find hope through music.

This may be your music or theirs. Along the way you will gain more opinions about your skills from professionals (not your mom) and you will get the idea of what track you personally want to take from there.

Give people the gift you feel when you sing. SOme can only hear it, but they feel it and it makes their lives worth while!!!!

:) Best of Luck, Steph.
