Yes you do. Your voice counts as an instrument. You need to practice singing a LOT. I assume you're going to college. You need to check audition requirements to get in to the school of music for the college of your choice, and you need to practice a lot. Practice sight reading as well. Pay close attention to dynamics and tone when you sing. Most colleges wil have you take courses in music theory, aural skills, and piano during your first semesters as well.

i think you do, to be admitted in the career you need to perform, but i dont know if singing is a possibility, perhaps it is. while on the career there subjects that are percussion, guitar, piano or different instruments, so if you don't know you will learn there

It varies from country to country check with your music therapist association in your country. Usually you need voice, piano and guitar as well as another instrument. Good luck with your dreams
