Balancing being full time music student and sustaining myself
Hello everyone, I need some advice from those of you who attend music college in the US. Recently, I got accepted into New World School of the Arts. I am pursuing a classical singing career and I want to do a minor in piano eventually.
Unfortunately, my parents are not very supportive of the choice I have made, and due to recent arguments I have been thinking of moving out from our house and getting a job and roommates. Some friends have told me that maybe it would be better to stay with my parents as a job would take valuable practice time from me and put many more responsibilities in my back. I see that point but at the same time me and my parents have rather different perspectives in life and my arguments with my parents have caused a rather negative impact on my mental health. It has been hard to bear through the discussions and I think that maybe moving out might be the best option for the sake of my mental health. I honestly don't know what to think anymore. Could I possibly balance being in music school full time while sustaining myself?
