I agree that there would be no way to play Div I sports and attend a music conservatory, but wouldn’t playing Div III sports and composing at a school that has a much less vigorous music program be possible? Isn’t baseball a spring sport? I have to admit, I have little experience with sports (although many friends’ kids are in it), but although there is off season training, the real push would be spring through summer, leaving some off time to concentrate on music. And composing is very different from a performance concentration.
Where there is a will (and a desire for compromise) there is a way, I’ve always found. I think SpiritManager just has to do more research and I wish him and his son lots of luck!
