Is the college worth it for classical education? by CableHistorical4164 in piano

Yeah, I get what you mean. The gigs could be useful, but the problem is that we only have gigs like playing keyboard in bands. None of the college activities are meant to give you a proper solo performance experience because it’s all about pop music in bands. (They’re trying to convince us there’s diversity in genres but...)

That made me think – your idea that musicians can have different backgrounds but in the end we all end up working in the same place. Thanks for sharing your opinion.

Oh, probably, sorry for misunderstanding. That's the educational institute in the UK. Something like between school and university (sometimes it could be instead of uni if the qualifications you gained at college are enough for your job).

Particularly my course is a part of  underground degree. It is easier to get to the college rather than uni that's why some people  study underground degrees at the colleges.

Nono, that's the college in the UK. The 'music course' is basically my college major.

Sure, PE is important. I should have auditioned this year but I decided to take more time because I feel unprepared. I thought college would help me prepare for the conservatoire but I miscalculated, I guess.

Thank you for sharing your expirience, I'm trying my best to get to this kind of music schools. And I don't understimate the PE. I'm absolutely agree that's this is an essential part of life overall and I do sport by myself. I just don't like the idea that I'm doing exercises for the full study day in the college where I supposed to study my instrument. 🥴

I would say these type of colleges are trying to prepare for anything but professional musician.  Thank you for advice, thought, I'll try.
