Okay! The etude is actually coming along quickly. The main reason there was a big jump suddenly is because 1. I started practicing a lot more this year and 2. I started learning things far more quickly this year. I am really hoping to learn the etude by this April, I am just saying junior year so that if I do not learn it by April I won’t be too harsh on myself lol. I am actually in the process of switching teachers because my old teacher said that if I wanted to play at a college level I should learn from a different lady (new teacher) because the new lady has taught at the college level before. Based on everything I have learned from this thread, I am thinking of majoring in science but taking enough music classes for a minor and joining a lot of ensembles. If I decide that music is the way to go, I might try to switch to a BA in music and take as many performance-type classes as I can to improve. Does this sound like an ok idea? I really don’t know. And I have lots of time to change my mind. I just like to have general plans for my future because I get worried about it and planning helps. Thanks! Also, I am glad you love Kolling. I love him too!! Anytime normal people ask my favorite song to play on the piano and I say Hungary by Kolling they have no idea who or what I’m talking about, so I gave up on it. I originally posted this in a general forum, not a music forum, which is why I didn’t include it in my post.
