mmk. so i am a senior in highschool and going off to college next year. my dad always played music and i was raised in a very music environment. i never really knew what i wanted to do in college until recently, which i am still not exactly sure, but i know it's something in the music field. but i was homeschooled for a few years, went to high school, went through a rough period (eating disorder..still trying to get 100 percent better) and was always a little shy and never really thought i was anything special..or saw music as anything important. I am now finding it hard to play music out without getting really self concious and don't think i should bother writing anything, cause how could i do anything different or anything worth listening to? i need some advice in not only getting over this fear, but in also getting over my extreme self conciousness so that i'm not second guessing myself forever. suggestions?

I already went through 4 years undergrad for music ed, and let me tell you, when we had our theory class for 2 years I wrote some pretty stupid stuff, but I also listened to some pretty cool stuff other people wrote and it gave me ideas.
I think by writing boring or what I considered "not very good stuff" I actually learned from my errors and eventually found my own groove.
I wouldn't worry about what other people think. Be cool with who you are and all the rest doesn't matter.
Stop thinking so much. :)
Do you think that every piece Beethoven wrote was good? Hell no, I really don't like some of his symphonies, ut it's the few good ones that made up for it. :)

No matter what your field of choice is, all start with the basics... math 101, English 101, etc. Most of your freshman year is spent on those core courses. But you do have time to work in something like Introduction to music 101. Use Freshman year to get into music activities, trying different things. You don't really have to make any final decisions before you start college. Just pick a school with a good music program. Soph year you can start to narrow in on a choice, but still don't have to make a final decision. Go for it and have fun. Good luck

Do what you like not what you think someone else wants you to do.
