Re: Realizing when you won't go pro

I still would have liked to further my education in music college if I had the chance, I'm not putting people down for getting into or through music college, only I fell at the first hurdle as I'm not the academic type and don't have the entry requirements - I only have one 'A' level (in music) and can't play piano, I'm crap at maths and English literature, and can't exactly see why all these are requirements if I want to study clarinet, not as a soloist but as an orchestral player which is what I like doing, I definitely won't cut it as a soloist in anywhere near the same league as the top soloists, but I prefer orchestral and chamber music and playing in those situautions.

Still, my main instrument is sax and I get plenty of work through that even though I never did any grades on sax. It's the instrument I can get around on more fluently than all the others I play.

Though I could always apply to study music again as a mature student, then again I already have a career in doing what I like and get enough playing as well. Already having a full time job and juggling college work might be too much to take on.
