Music - Coincidence

So, I was a piano major at Loyola and had a nice young female teacher who teaches kids there at night, only a few getting her.  I suppose I really wowed them with my musical skills and confidence.  It was stressful because I didn't make the first audition.  I did make their third one.  My mom said it was my test scores that went up.  I wish I just tried for singing.  I want to be a film actress and sing like Julie Andrews.  My voice still isn't perfect.  I wish I never was in the choir.  I suppose in college it is necessary.  Or, I could have done choir plus voice lessons to get ready for ensemble work.  I'm too old to be in college, but I will start at a nice community college nearby that has the classes for the music major there.  I already have half of my theory done.  I just have two of those left.

What happened was I only got a C my second semester in piano and was scolded about my singing with no feeling, something my voice teacher didn't tell me.  We have exams in front of other teachers.  I was called to the office and told I was too quiet to be a music education major.  I was told not to major in piano nor to take voice.  How gay is that?  How gay does that sound?  I got all honest As my first semester in music other than a B+ in voice.  I was also in honors, just barely got in.  I didn't have good letters from teachers since I moved high schools a couple times.
