How I Balance My Engineering Career with Music | Q&A

[@nicholasmaestrelloagiz3786]

Your video is excellent, I identify with you a lot, I've studied music since I was a child (in my case I'm a multi-instrumentalist). Life took me to other professional paths (I became a software engineer), but I can't put music aside and still study intensely daily, sometimes just for myself. I think it's interesting to strike a balance between both areas and I'm always happy to see people who also achieve this.

So amazing! Thank you for sharing and congratulations 🎉 it’s definitely inspiring to meet others who resonate with this and I’m glad to see that music has such a profound impact on our lives despite the professional career that we chose.

I was expecting this video with great interest because my case is similar to yours, only I pursued music as a career, and directed my interest in science & research towards my music related side career as pipe organ builder. Since I moved to the USA I am working full time as a pipe organ technician. The reason for that was purely practical: I found work in that field instead of the performing arts, and that was it! Time will tell what will win in your life. Concert pianist is the hardest career imaginable (not from me but from my hero Arthur Rubinstein). A hint no more: Competition is the most stressful and ungrateful way to be on stage; there are much more friendlier and less stressful opportunities. From higher end amateur recitals ("amateur" meaning: "not making a living from concerts"- not "dabbling around at the piano"!) to music festivals... Whatever, I wish you the best of luck!

I agree! Thanks for your comment and for sharing your story!

Your past of choosing between piano and science is just TOO similar to MY current situation, this feels like looking at my future self. I am currently extremely serious in piano as a teen (can see my channel as well) I also do CMC (it's still a thing 😂) but i already know that i'll have to give up perusing it... I am planning to go into medicine, also for a similar reason as yours (stable life, income and how hard it is to become a performer... 😰) Have fun!!!

[@tiffanytsepiano]

@Kotopi hi!! 💕 thank you for your comment, and you play very well! I really respect you for wanting to pursue a career in medicine. That life is extremely difficult as well and stable income really comes much much later in medicine 🥲 ultimately I hope you choose something that really sets your heart on fire and I'm certain that you will be able to pave a path for yourself! And whatever you do don't give up your love for music, it's a really special thing to have 🥰 wishing you the best in this huge life decision!! 💗

Hello lady, Hello. I hav passed my journey for 7 years as a biomedical engineer. 4 years at a distributor of GE healthcare products. And 3 years at a hospital. I hav taken the role for Life Care Science products. Ventilators, anaesthesia machines, D Car products, Maternal and Infant care products at first job. 2nd job at the hospital is for all products of that. Even LA and Radiation therapy (Elekta). Can i have a chance to get a job there? I wanna try so much. Can u please show me the way if its possible or not?

[@channyein37]

I m from Myanmar. And I m not good at English too much. But I hav been studying vocabularies about Biomedical engineering s much s I can.

Hi, I am a mechanical engineer, can I switch my career to biomedical engineering

[@tiffanytsepiano]

Yes! Your skills in mech eng will be very useful!

[@Bengraziano]

About to start my Mechanical Engineering PhD and I’m worried I won’t have time for Chopin.

[@tiffanytsepiano]

Wishing you the best! I’m sure you will make time for the things you love :)

[@kyroking9934]

Why did you switch from electrical to biomedical?

[@tiffanytsepiano]

I love ECE, and I’m still using those skills in my current role - the only thing that’s different is that I am using my skills to improve healthcare and it is much more meaningful and fulfilling to me :)

[@benno8699]

You say you didn't play during your undergrad, is that because you didn't have time or other reasons/didn't want to? I'm in a similar situation, but with sport not music, but the concept is the same.

[@tiffanytsepiano]

I didn’t have easy access to a piano, and I was so exhausted from school. I also wasn’t sounding too good since I haven’t been consistently practicing so I was actually avoiding the piano a lot. It was a something that sat very heavy on my heart for a long time because it felt like I gave up something that was a big part of me. But I’m back now, all in good timing :)

@@tiffanytsepiano thanks for the reply. Definitely helpful insights.

[@Ben777World]

Why 'mostly an engineer'? 😊 I choose engineering for a career. I like engineering, but I like music more. Hopefully, your engineering career will enable you to get a Fazioli one day, and both you and Mr. Fazioli will be very happy!

[@tiffanytsepiano]

Hahah thank you so much!! I hope so too 😅
