This has a familiar ring to me. I think I understand where your mom is coming from and my reading is that it is possible that she is just...scared. She probably knows how competitive this whole high school and college process has become and she wants the very best for you. She is perhaps fearful that the music is a distracting influence and will impair your ability to perform at your best. If any of what I am suggesting is remotely correct, then I suggest you give her a big hug, tell her you love her, tell her you're working hard and doing your best and that the music actually helps you do better. I'm pretty sure that you're both going for the same goal of creating a good outcome for you in life and in college. Cut her a little slack and hopefully she'll do the same for you.

If I'm wrong, please forgive my judgments and ignore me.
