my
parents and MY music
hey,
does anyone else have
problems with their parents not supporting their musical efforts?
Mine certainly do not approve of my intense musical interest. I
haven't told them that all I want to do is be a professional cellist
yet. How do I break the news?

Hi Rachel cellofreak !!
I know
exactely what you mean, my parents dislike classical music and keep
asking me to stop playing cello and piano (flute doesn't bother them
that much, I guess) and I can't play records in the living room.....
perhaps you can ask your teacher to talk to them ?? And to explain
that you can earn a living as a cellist (would be a strong point for
my parents) ?? I'd give it a try. What you can do to prepare them is
talking about music-schools etc. and profmusicians much, so that
they get used to the idea that there are people who make music as a
job. Good luck with it !!
xxx Martine.

Reflect
for a minute
How ironic (i guess is the word) is
this situation? How many teenagers have the problem of their parents
not approving of their music? This is common, but when you add that
the music is *Classical* music, hmm. Weird isn't it?
Anyway.
While my parents don't necessarily enjoy my classical music, (my mom
likes it alright, but I don't think my dad understands it) they DO
support me in whatever musical effort I go for. Unfortunately for
me, I know that I will probably never be a professional *Classical*
musician, at least not in cello. If only we could trade parents or
something! =) j/k. I love my parents.

Re: my

Rachel-
Perhaps your parents will
approve of your musical intrests and support you more if they know
that you want to make a career out of the cello. They'd want you to
do the best job possible, right? And wouldn't they want you to do
something you love? I would talk to them and let them know how
important the cello is to you. It's important that you get the
"training" that you need now so you can be the best cellist that you
can be! Besides, it may be a good idea to warm them up to the idea
of playing the cello professionally before you tell them that you
also want to go to a music centered school. Remember that they have
the $$. You have time now to get them used to the idea! Good
luck!!
