Second Bachelor's degree?

I'm currently a Business Administration student. I really would like to do a Bachelor's in Music for piano, because I love it dearly, but I don't want to give up my business degree because I'm doing so well at it and it'll help me a lot in the future. If I decide to go back for a Bachelor's of Music with piano, will I have to spend another four years of my life doing useless general education classes or can I start off with the degree specific courses? What options do I have? Would it be possible to take the degree at graduate level or am I recommended to have a Bachelor's first?

1. Saved your money. Hire a private musician to teach you how to play the piano. If you really want to get that Bach in music, it will probably take you two extra years in school. Also, you will have to take education classes if you are majoring in music and education. As long as you minor in it in undergrad, you can do your master's degree in it. The question is what do you want to do with your life? Do you want to become a musician or work as a business man? Then again, the entertainment industry is a big business having a double major in business and music will help you so much if you chose to work in the entertainment industry. See if you can double major in music and Business. I am sure you can do that as long as the school offer both majors. The only thing is some school only offer one degree, so you might have to chose a Bach in music or business. This all depends on your school. So speak with an adviser at your College to learn more about your options. Good Luck to you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ss
2. You already have those useless general ed classes for your current degree. You won't have to take them again. If you are minoring in music or at the very least taking music classes, you can apply for the graduate level.
3. You need to make that your minor now. BA in Business Adm and minor in music. Took piano as a business student in a summer session for the hell of it.
