I love music, and I once thought about doing a choral scholarship, but the people put me off.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think I have music in me! I had a scholarship to study singing at one point, and I've never really done anything about it. I've done some music on stage, but it's been a long time. It would be kind of fun.
I did a lot of choral music in high school, and that was kind of my primary, stable outlet for music because I didn't feel comfortable being a soloist. It was a cool, safe space for me musically.
I ended up turning down a full scholarship of music at the conservatory to pay to go to cooking school.
I always felt a love for music, but I never got my nerve up enough to try a musical instrument in school.
I got a scholarship to Seattle University and I was writing arrangements for singers and everybody. But the music course was too dry and I really wanted to get away from home.
Going to college was never an option. I was passionate about music, but how much talent I actually had was another matter.
In a way, I'm lucky that I was never classically trained and never went to a music college. I'm just from a normal working class family and happened to get obsessed with music as a teenager.
I was always the kid on scholarship, I was a soloist with my company, I'd been working with the symphony since I was 14.
So many schools are getting rid of music programs and it's really sad because I know that when I started singing and stuff it was something that I always wanted to do and I never believed in myself to be able to do it.
I was never interested in singing in the church choir or in school. I was more interested in becoming a musician.
