Hi there.
It has been said to me in this forum that because I'm about to study at a conservatorium in the cockroach-racing capital of the world, Australia, I will have an easier time of things as the standards here aren't quite as high as in America or Europe.
That's probably totally true, but still, I am only one of nine pianists accepted into this school, so competition will still be pretty tough and a lot will be expected of me.
My problem is, unlike the other piano students, I don't live with Mum and Dad. I have to work to support myself.
Do you think working 20 hours a week is too much? I would especially like to know how the people who have studied piano at a tertiary level managed time and whether they worked at all.
Thanks in advance for your insight.
