Hello everyone.
I am a senior in high school. I have been playing the euphonium since I was in 4th grade, and trombone since 7th grade. I definitely want to major in music performance in college. I have auditioned at a few schools already for euphonium, since that is clearly my stronger instrument at this point. I have gotten some positive reinforcement from potential professors so far, but I want to know whether I should stick to euphonium only and limit my professional opportunities severely. I have been told it is possible to reaudition wherever I decide to attend, and double performance major in Trombone and Euphonium. Would double majoring be better for me in the long run, or not? I am looking for the best possible way to make a career in the music field without teaching K-12. Maybe this is just an identity crisis, but I would like some input from people who have possibly been in this situation. Thank you all for reading!
