you make it sound impossible. what about student loans? and, my recent textbook (which i haven't bought yet) that is 1/2 inch thick and is $60? (i am thinking of going to barnes and noble). will i end up living out of my car because i love piano? do all professional pianists ( i am working on the professional part) end up like mozart? will we be buried in a pauper's grave?
ok. i am working on becoming a professional pianist. does anyone care? how can i be different than the geniuses that already play and get a jump start? should i try making a cd once my spring recital is ready? who do i send the cd to (besides family?) what will become of my cd?
Personally I know nothing about being a professional in music, but it seems to me you ask (to yourself) too many questions. The most important thing, I suppose, is to make sure you will enjoy yourself as a professional pianist. If you only think of it on the money side, you won't do anything, I guess.
Everything depends on what you aim in life. If you want to devote your life to your very love of piano music, just do it, try it by any means, maybe some day you will be paid $$$ for each concert, maybe not. If you want a lot of money, you'd better become Britney Spears composer or sell stolen cars
(just kidding).
Well, nobody unveiled his face as a concertist yet. Is it shyness, modesty or protectiveness of privacy
?
