So, you want to go to school for music, but you don’t know how you should actively invest your focus in the musical field?

No worries. Sienna and Gracie got you. They discuss and form a list of thoughts to consider to do prior (or currently) joining the field of music, albeit the extensive list of music careers, you’ll find the list quite delightful.

There is a 7 minute intermission. You can skip or you can listen to Jazz Influence in Hip-Hop Music hosted by Gracie.

when you finally choose your concentration in music and the music majors come out of the practice rooms to say hi. #musicsquad
