Bananana 04/27/20 6:54:34 PM #1:	I recently made a topic about getting accepted on a full tuition scholarship to a conservatory in NY for my Masters in Music Performance. Well, the concrete financial plan I had as of a month ago has now been ruined. About $7000 in gigs/performances I would have made from March to July is now gone, so I dont know if Ill be able to pay to relocate. Which was already a fear, just now made concrete by the fact that the potential assistance I had fell through. Trying to figure it out still and explore viable options, how much Ill be able to make at a grocery store until then, etc., but Id be lying if I said I wasnt pretty crushed right now. I suppose my best chance is if my start date gets postponed and I have more time to save. coddle me, ce --- http://error1355.com/ce/Bananana.html <cite>Bananana posted [p:938203166] in My grad sc...

This world could do with more music students and fewer MBAs. --- Ring the bells that still can ring. <cite>The_Creep_2020 posted [p:938203257] in My grad sc...

Bananana 04/27/20 7:00:13 PM #6:	A loan is my Option A atm. My plan is to already take out federal loans for help with rent, etc. while there so I can practice 9 hours a day like I need to and not be bogged down working, so I need to get myself comfortable with that notion and make sure its viable. Though its not a guarantee Id get approved and get the money by when I need it --- http://error1355.com/ce/Bananana.html <cite>Bananana posted [p:938203466] in My grad sc...

It means better programs, better teachers, stipends, more job opportunities, and a chance to really refine what youre doing so you can go and succeed in auditions that you normally wouldnt have if not a student. For example: I can justify to myself taking out student loans for living with a $100k full tuition scholarship because I can focus solely on practicing and getting good enough for the next two years, which is something I couldnt do if not in a Masters. --- http://error1355.com/ce/Bananana.html <cite>Bananana posted [p:938203545] in My grad sc...
