I am a college student in the Conservatory of Music. Piano is a compulsory course. Even if you haven't studied piano before, you will have piano lessons after you go to college. Teachers usually give you piano homework according to the degree, so don't worry too much. Many people in my school have never studied piano, but as long as they work hard to finish their homework and practice hard, they will not be worse than others. I don't know what your major is. A big reason for music normal students who are not piano majors is improvisation, so they must know the piano. Piano will also be a compulsory course for students majoring in music performance, while students majoring in dance do not have so high requirements for piano. In our school, students majoring in dance have no piano lessons. You can ask me if you don't understand.
