Susan McClary, Professor of Musicology at the University of California, Los Angeles, gives some honest advice to people considering a career in music about the scope of the commitment that the field requires - the thousands of hours of practice, the potential for failure, the hard work, and the risks that it will all amount to nothing.

  • @Mikeinatorable wow I wrote that just 10 months ago and now I think just like my parents...scary thought. life doesn't work like poker etc... losing is much scarier.

  • @PersianPianist12 Life is nothing without its risks and safeties. How boring would a game of poker be if you never wagered anything? How droll would a flat, slow, roller-coaster ride be? How pointless would a safe, unexciting, passion-less life be? The safeties are equally important, but to do what we love, we have to take risks sometimes. It's the only way to truly live.

  • problem is....my parents don't think that way. They think taking risks when you can avoid it is stupid. :(
