i’m DEVASTED—didn’t get into the music program at EITHER school i applied to! Please help me?

scoot asked:


So i got into the university of both schools, but both schools said my audition wasn’t good enough to admit me into the music education program. i am completely devasted—i don’t know what to do. i feel like such a failure. all i’ve ever wanted to do was sing, i knew this since i was 4, i could sing before i could talk, when i went to my first Wayne from Maine concert when i was little i was selected to sing a song with him and i took the mic and didn’t share and sang the whole thing myself, i’m the best in my choir, i’m in church choir, community theater, and i was in a show choir for 2 years and we performed in downtown disney twice!!! I’ve been taking private singing lessons for 3 years now as well. And i only applied to state colleges—i didn’t get into a music program at a STATE COLLEGE. i feel like such a failure. i’m completely devastated. i just don’t know what to do. music is my life, it is all i know. but maybe this is a sign that i should move on and do something different
but i just don’t know what to do. i don’t know why they didn’t like me. i knew i blew my first audition, but i thought i had the second one for sure. i just don’t know what to do with myself. it’s just terrible. i feel like a complete loser—spending all that money on lessons and show choir and traveling, and time spent, all WASTED cuz i’m a useless piece of crap. i should have found something better with my time.

i don’t know what i should do.

    Try writing and composing songs
    and let someone else sing them.
    We don’t have to be what we’re not.
    We do need to follow our own star.
    Bare in mind, every big success
    started with a small failure.

    first of all, you are not a useless piece of crap. and just because you weren’t accepted into the program doesn’t mean your bad. one of my friends wasn’t accepted into the music program at the school of her choice because they’re trying to bring in more diversity in the program. there are a multitude of reason as to why you may not have been accepted. if i were you, i would go to the school of your choice. for the first year, continue to take lessons and get your generals done and try out for choir. try to get to know the music department profs. then, try out your second year. if it doesn’t work then, maybe consider your singing as a hobby and try to find something else…but never let your music go if that’s what you love.

    Ever thought about joining a band?

    It’s only what 99% of great singers in the history of music have ever done, by way of learning their trade…

    Hey, rejection happens. I got rejected for composition major at a state university, and for early music performance grad study at another. I’m doing both now. Go to some school, somewhere, and get some chops…particularly SIGHT READING.

    OTOH, there’s something to be said for not HAVING to be a musician. If you have to be, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll make scads more money than the rest of us and enjoy performing as an amateur.
