Hi everybody, I do not know whether this is the right forum to start such a topic but I am desperate for some advice :) I am Elif from Turkey I am 17, I have played violin for 12 years from age 3 to 15, worked with Itzhak Perlman, Igor Oistrakh through my studies but as violin was chosen for me by my parents I never actually liked it so at the afe of 15 I started to take piano lessons from Emre Sen who is an astonishing concert pianist in Turkey. After couple of months, I was able to play Chopin ballades, bach partitas so he decided to take me into a road to be a pianist.I have worked with Aquiles delle Vigne, Rafal Blechacz and Andrzej Jasinski in several masterclasses. This year, I was chosen to study with Jacques Lagarde in Ecole Normale de Musique de Paris, but as I did not really like the school's system, I denied the offer. Now I am getting ready for an audition to enter Royal College of Music. My programme is:

Bach- Prelude and Fugue BWV 875 in D minor

Chopin-Etude Op.10 no.4

Chopin-Etude Opus 10 no.9

Poulenc-Les Soirees de Nazelles suite pour piano

Do you think I have a chance to be a student in RCM? Or should I try to study something else than music?

It's up to you. You know better than anyone here how capable you are at piano. If you can play as well as you claim to I say go for it. I must say I'm pretty jealous of your opportunities though...
