Is it a good idea to study clarinet in college, and become an orchestral performer full time? or will I end up a bum on the streets?
Ever since i started playing clarinet, 7 years ago, I knew that this was what i wanted to do..forever. I graduate from high school in about 6 weeks, and I plan on majoring in music performance in college. My problem is now everyone is telling me things such as, "you will never have money if you chose to do that" or "unless you plan on teaching music also, you wont make it." Should i not chose to do this, and change my major? It scares me because clarinet is my life, im not good at anything else so there is nothing else i can major in. I dont want to teach music, but will that be the only way i will make it as a music performance major?
Im pretty decent at clarinet. This current year i made the all-state band on both clarinet and bass clarinet. (they ended up taking my higher score which was on clarinet) I made the all-district band also.
