Well, what does he know? Go somewheres else. I'll be 22 by the time I
finish my undergrad in Vocal Performance. Does that mean I'd be too old
to start my Master's? NO! I'd be just the right age. There really isn't
a difference between 22 and 24 so I don't know what his problem is. Go
somewhere where you will be able to learn without prejudice of age. And
go for the gusto!
