i seriously considered going to a conservatory to study piano, but decided not to do it---i figured that it would be a way to come to hate what i really love doing--eventually i went to graduate school for history instead, only to find that for a while at least the same thing happened to the other thing i really love, which is reading. but that did not last too long---am back into it--i dont know if the same thing would have happened had i made a different choice training wise. i do know that i would not be playing anything like i play now, however. and from where i sit now, that seems like it would have been a really bad thing to have traded away so i could feel more legit....
this is an inconclusive post.
for me, conservatory is now a counterfactual, and so the post could not be otherwise.
