I'd be 35 when I get the AA in Violin Performance and have not much left, maybe mostly just advancing in violin after that, doing all the General Studies before I start music for even the AA. I wonder if I could do a joint Masters program somewhere. Some schools you can start at the beginning, so maybe there is something for me out there. I'm just not an advanced player. I can say I switched from piano to violin, as long as I can do the work and perform in the orchestra.
