I have experience and i’m quite good. You might get an idea of my skill by watching me playing How to save a life by The Fray which I posted on youtube here:

But i want to learn the type of song where somebody could walk into a music shop and see someone playing the song and think “wow, how cool” so basically something that lots of people know (maybe a theme song to something or a famous song or something?).

Any ideas?

The piano would be my instrument of choice. I can also play guitar and violin. Is it possible to be successful in the music industry without pursuing post secondary for it? I am really interested in writing music for movies and videogames. How would I go about doing that?

If college is the best option, what should I expect? I alsolutely hate sight reading and have a hard time doing it. I learn all of my pieces by ear. I can read music too, though, but I never do that anymore.

I’m 16 and I have lots of experience with the piano (about 9 years) and i’ve had vocal lessons. I also can play the flute a little. Not as good as piano though because I only took 1 year of lessons. My strength is sight reading; i’m really good at it. Anyway, i want to learn how to play the violin. Is it going to be really hard even with all of the music experience that i have?
