Hi Arianna,

Sorry to hear you don’t feel supported by your mom regarding your desire to audition for a spot as a music major in college. I hope she’s shared with you her specific concerns so that you can understand her perspective and then share yours with her.

Is there a teacher or counselor who knows your musical strengths who might have a conversation with your mom?

Also, this article may be helpful to share with your mom: /transferable-skills-music-majors-gain/
Be sure to read it as well so you can have a discussion with her about her concerns and how this article may address some or all of them.

Note that »Æ¹Ïapp does offer fee-based consulting if you don’t find what you need at no cost on the website. But do look first for articles that speak to your interests, that you can share with your mother, and that may help you both have a useful dialogue together.
