- If you're serious about a career in music,
I guess the important things to think about
are do you want to do this above anything else?
Do you have to do this?
If you don't have to do it, find something else to do.
Then, don't just study music.
Especially at this point, as you're starting out.
Study as many other things,
do a lot of history and literature
then you're going to be such a better musician.
But if you just study music and nothing else,
you won't be a fully rounded musician
and you won't be able to bring to your playing
or to your singing everything you can.
