Learning the piano gives you a much deeper understanding of harmony, since you can play the chords and experiment. It also teaches you another clef (bass clef), and gives you lots of opportunities to accompany other people. The sax will allow you to join mainstream music groups such as jazz bands, wind bands and so on. The sax is a cool instrument and it’s easy to carry round of course! Personally I think the piano would help you more academically, whereas the sax might be better for your social life ;-)

You will need to enquire at the universities in India – I can’t help you there I’m afraid.

I don’t know of any universities that accept students without a high level of practical skill and/or a school qualification in music. However, it is always possible that there are exceptions. I suggest you write a letter or email directly to the university where you want to study and ask them for advice. In any case, it’s not necessary to have a degree in music in order to share your passion for music. Why not set up an informal group and share ideas together. What sort of music do you want to teach? There are franchise opportunities e.g. Kindermusic which train people up to teach music to kids and run a home business that way. Don’t give up hope.

Its only in private schools en they are very expensive and I couldn’t afford. I went to a multi media college and I learnt some basic things in music, but majored in video production. I taught my self how to drums, some basic chords on the guitar and some on piano. I thought that was enough but my passion didn’t give me a chance. I so badly want to get to a professional music school.en do a degree in music that I may go back and help those that aren’t able to afford music classes. Can I get a university that can accept me without a grade 8 in playing a musical instrument but with a perfect passion?

But, by all mean worth a really good listen. http://youtu.be/5xmHT6ovroM

Operas – I never knew that!
