College Majors Music Major

<hr>

<p>I was wondering has anyone ever gonhe from a community college to a major music school or conservatory? Im nineteen years old going in as a freshman in community college as a music performance Major. I've been in choirs my entire life, played piano throughout grade school and started intensively studying opera when i turned eighteen. I was wondering when im done with my A.A Is it possible that my voice will have improved enough to get into a conservatory? Has it ever been done before? I'm a very dedicated student to voice and practice everyday and study hard. I have alot of insecurities about starting this late in the game but i was sick in the hospital my entire highschool career and recently got better. This is my dream and i want to go for it but I also want to know how realistic/unrealistic im being. Even though i started singing when i was eighteen can I still make a career out of this? Help!!!!</p>

<p>It all depends on your talent as well as your skills as a musician and a performer. People have made it as an opera singer from many different beginnings, including never majoring in music at all. We can not tell you what will happen. All you can do is work hard, audition where you can for feedback, and see what happens. Good luck.</p>

<p>You lose nothing by trying, if and when you feel ready. Should you be accepted though, you may find that you have to take everything over again as conservatories almost never accept transfer credits from community colleges or other schools not of the highest level.</p>
