<p>Everything that -Allmusic- said is correct.</p>
<p>If you want to get into a college for music, my suggestion is to look at a smaller school and apply for music education. The fact that you have little confidence in yourself and that you haven’t had a teacher in two years mean that you probably won’t get anywhere as a performance major… or even getting into college as a performance major in the first place. It’s just way too competitive. But I think it’s very possible that you can get somewhere as a music educator at your state university. Right now what you should be doing-- actually, what you should have already done a few months ago-- is looking into requirements for different universities. They all tend to want one major piece from each era, but some requirements are a little different. For example, some schools will let you play a Scarlatti sonata but other schools strictly want a Bach piece.</p>
