If you want to be a professional musician you need to study music not just singing. You need to know how to read music, understand music theory (scales, keys, etc). It is helpful to be able to play a bit of piano for composing and arranging.

Take any classes you can on piano, music theory, and singing at your high school or college.

Howabout you just TAKE THE LESSONS.
