The current lecturer explains] What it means to aim for a music college.

Making music a profession.

This may seem like a rather heavy decision to some people.
However, in order to become a musician in their own right, they must be in school, in high school, when their judgment is iffy,
Or, if you are going to a music high school, you must make this decision when you are in junior high school.

This is because it is too late to learn professionally as an adult, and it is more difficult to develop professional-level skills.
Highly sophisticated and delicate movements, which can only be acquired at a young age, are required in professional activities.
Even in majors such as composition, where it is possible to become a professional relatively late in life, skills must be acquired in one's twenties.
It is said that after one reaches one's thirties, not only the body but also the head becomes stiff...

In this article, I would like to explain how I decided to go to a music college instead of aiming for a regular university,
I would like to explain what kind of cases there are.


◆Fate and necessity
Star musicians with overwhelming competence at high school naturally choose music as their specialty. People around them have no doubts.
Even if they go on to a regular college, they may get a diploma from an organization outside the music academy.
You do not want to take the risk of entering a music college, but you are, without a doubt, a star musician! who is aware of the fact that he/she is a star musician, makes this career choice.


The Flow.

There are a certain number of people who go on to music colleges because of the flow of the time.

This is a case where both they and those around them are aware that, well, they will probably go on to a music college.
They have been doing music for a long time and ended up at a music college. ・・・・

◆Because music is easier than studying
They specialize in music because they don't want to study English, math, etc. There are a surprising number of music students who chose to specialize in music for these reasons.

Many choose to go on to music school due to the encouragement of their brass band advisors or music teachers (because it is an achievement that will lead to higher education).


◆Combined application to a regular college and a music college
Parents who are anxious about their children's future may decide, "I'll allow them to take the entrance exam for music college if they apply to a regular university at the same time! In some cases, they make a decision such as "I'll allow you to take the entrance exam to a music college if you apply to a regular university. Many of those who enter music schools in this case have very good academic records.


◆Decision after careful consideration This is the way it should be.


◆Conclusion.

One thing I want to tell you is that ・・・・・
Entering a music college is a hard mode of life.
On the other hand, if you think, "Oh, I'm going to do my best! I would recommend you to try to enroll in a music academy.
