and i feel like im really missing out on high school. its supposed to be like the best years but i couldnt go to the pep rally, homecoming, any football games or sports or anything bascially. but the reason for this is that i have to sit at home and practice piano. i know it sounds retarded but im going to be a pianist when i grow up and i have no time for these things. it just makes me really upset to see all my friends going when i cant go. do you think im making the right decision/is it worth it?

Focus on your goals and only that. Some day in the future when you are a professional pianist you will realize the need for practice. Tiger woods started golf a 3 years of age and practiced everyday. He is worth a billion or so now. You will be famous and all the others will be saying"You want fries with that" Good luck and keep on practicing

i've been there. done that. My parents wouldn't let me do any of that either because my dancing and figure skating was more important. Every summer i was shipped to denver for skating every day in and day out. so i missed out on summer stuff too. I didn't really have "great close" friends. I ended up blowing my knee out when i was 17 right before graduation and couldn't do any of it any more--i had surgery and the whole nine yards. All that work for nothing and no support from the "great close" friends. Plus i was an only child. If you can sit down with your parents and explain that the piano is important, but so is learning your social skills.

Hey honey. First off, you're only a freshman, you have plenty of time to be involved! Second, the "best times of your life" is whenever you make it the best times of your life, not necessarily high school. Third, I think it's great that you have a goal and are working towards it!
Try to find some compromise that won't jeopardize your future career as a pianist, but will allow you to hang out with friends also!

I am a muscian. A Vocal performance major. I am also a well rounded person. I respect your desire to make music your life. I also respect the amount of time that has to be devoted to music to be the best. But I also learned the importance of being a child. There will always be time to practice. But the dances and events of highschool only happen once. You will be practicing your whole life enjoy these little things when they come.
Don't give up on your dream to be a profesional musician but don't forget to be a human and a kid too.

No you are not making the right decision. If you aren't happy then it's wrong. It really is that simple. I'm a professional singer and started going to college, studying vocal music, when I was 12. If you feel that you are missing out on anything, you should NOT be there. You aren't doing yourself any favors and infact you are impeding your own progress.

Hey, take some time out, you need some social activities to be a well rounded person. That is/should be first consideration. If the piano takes all your time, maybe the sacrfice is too much, only you can determine that.

well al i know is that you are going to look back on your high school years as practicing piano instead of getting involved you should go out now and then and you will still have time for your piano

confident i did a protracted time in the past... it develop into thrilling to work out how greater classmen taken care of beginners on their first day. my classification wasn't hazed or taunted in any respect as quickly as we've been beginners. yet actual existence does a particularly good activity at documenting what reallly happens. it truly is unlike maximum 'certainty' television shows
