<p>I work in law in London and did my degree in Biology. However, I’ve always been a pretty serious musician (brass instruments, mainly horn but all positions considered 
). </p>
<p>I never really wanted a career in music because firstly I don’t think I’d love it so much if my hobby became my job, and secondlyyou have to be quite thick skinned to have a career in the performing arts. I don’t think I could take lots of auditions and rejections. Mostly I do ‘depping’ which is deputising for an absent musician in any kind of ensemble. I’ve done a load of competitions as well. </p>
<p>The reason I’m telling you this is I have no formal qualifications in music and my job is totally unrelated (in fact I doubt anyone I work with knows about my “second life” in music world) but this doesn’t mean I have had to give music up. Far from it. So even if your major is not music, this doesn’t barr you from continuing with it in your spare time, or even having a career in this field.</p>
<p>(If you are very talented at playing the organ, have high test scores and like exams/high pressure study, then apply to Oxbridge, where organ scholars are treated like gods. Generous scholarships and organ scholars are the only students allowed to apply to both Oxford and Cambridge undergrad in the same year).</p>
