hello everyone!!
i’ve never posted here before but i figured i might as well since i think i am in need of a reality check (please be nice 😭)
here’s what you need to knowww:
* i am a music education major at a cc in the states
* i’ve been studying japanese for about 3ish years now with a teacher who is helping me study towards jlpt n3
* my gpa is 3.6 (is this helpful? 😭)
* i get my associates in spring of ‘27
last winter i got the opportunity to stay with a host family in suginami for about a month through ef and fell in love with tokyo.
i got to meet my japanese friend, transportation was great, and i know the solitude can feel isolating for some but i really enjoyed it. i genuinely miss it everyday.
i’m curious on any pathways, if any, i could take to transfer to any university’s in japan with an associates in music. maybe smaller colleges? and i ask this with the intention of going to a school that doesn’t have to be international.
if this is impossible ^ what else could i do?
at the end of the day, i want to move to japan. maybe not forever, but definitely soon. i need to move out anyways, but i feel like i’m delaying getting back there if i move out in the states instead of saving up to go there, but then again, there’s nothing i can really do with an associates, right? let alone with an associates in music.
i’ve thought about changing majors and doing my music on the side, but that sounds kind of extreme. i don’t know at this point. i think i’ll just need to be content with where i’m at now if that’s what’s it gonna have to be.
okay and questions:
* n3 is probably the bare minimum for a university right?
* does anyone know what the classical music scene is like? are there local orchestras? is it super competitive?
* also how do you practice…wouldn’t it be disturbing your neighbors? is it just that you practice during the day? is this a weird question? lmao
guys pls don’t roast me
