I'm currently a sophomore in highschool. I have a lot of experience with music, having played piano and violin for 8 & 7 years respectively, but I have not discovered my true passion for music until I joined marching band (and similarly, symphonic band, pep band, and jazz band). I am picking up snare, marimba, etc.. all the typical instruments for percussion, and suddenly music has a whole new meaning for me. I used to hate practicing and would avoid it at all costs and I'm afraid that's made my piano and violin skills worse than someone who has been playing for 2 or so years. But I want to change and I know I want to be a music major. The scary thing for me is, can I become good enough in only the span of two years? The hardest piece I've ever played on piano is Liebestraume no. 3 by Liszt, and for violin, the double Bach piece. I am still very much a beginner in percussion. I am currently taking piano lessons, but I also want to take violin and percussion lessons too. If I worked really hard, could I make it? I have never been naturally talented in music, but I am willing to try and risk the downsides. Thank you for reading this.
