<p>Thanks everyone for the responses so far! </p>
<p>Originally, I spoke about resumes because I know most auditions do resume-screenings before they even let you audition.</p>
<p>I hadn’t really thought about Certificate Programs because I equated them with “Professional Studies” which I thought were for post-Masters study, but will look into it. </p>
<p>In high school, I did not pursue music, because of the former theory - “It’s not practical to make money in the real world.” Especially with my ability to get into a top university. However, my high school music credentials rivaled that of top conservatory-bound students. </p>
<p>Wouldn’t it make sense to give music a shot now, and take the risk, while I still can?</p>
