Music Conservatory

Since I'm older and Oberlin is for younger people especially, I am hoping to show my teacher my plan to go to Juilliard, except I'll be ready for a Bachelor's after the next school year and it requires 2 years of study for the degree there.  I'm speeding up learning 3rd position because my teacher really didn't want to teach it to me for some reason.  She was nice, a Polish lady with bleached hair born I think around 1961.  She also didn't want me playing fast.  She said in 10 years, I could start in college.  I've played a total of 4-5 years with 4 teachers and learning by myself and will have one more in the Spring, 2020.  I should have practiced more and could have done a little more challenging material earlier and gotten into some other stuff maybe earlier.
