![]() ![]() I really love all aspects of music and most genres, just doing one thing is so hard, but I know that if I wasn’t doing music I’d probably end up teaching English or Worl History, and I wouldn’t mind teaching High School students. the curriculum at NYU covers a lot of what I love doing, though it doesn’t specifically focus on any one of them. I just know that I have wider interests than just music education, but I certainly want to follow that career path. I don’t really want to explore the different things I could do and I actually am very satisfied with the curriculum. Yikes, see post below! Certainly I agree!!! Pretty major oversight on my part. For example, in the Chicago area DePaul, Northwestern, and Roosevelt offer Music Ed degrees aiming for public school teacher certification- if that’s really what you are looking for. Perhaps checking a few other schools in the urban areas of interest to you can give some other options. Looks to me that you might want an urban environment. Have you checked the websites of your schools-of-interest to see how they describe themselves? You’ll get more info by checking the specific degrees offered as well. If you are looking for classical training, Berklee isn’t an obvious choice. Manhattan and Berklee are performance specialists. The University of Chicago doesn’t offer a Music Ed degree: I’m confused (like Violadad) over exactly what you are looking for. ![]() I’d be happy to point out additional threads and background info here. You might want to look into some of the double major/dual programs, or options at liberal arts colleges with good music programs and explore some of the composition threads here. Contact the poster Cosmos who is a senior (double bassist) there, and she can detail the program and her experiences. I gave you Steinhardt info in your other thread (that’s a tough pool to as is UChicago), and the program is highly competivtive. Admission at both is audition based, not academically driven there. Without the benefit of private instruction, you may not have the chops to be competitive within the audition pools at MSM or Berklee (that line was absent in your other thread). You might want to look into BA programs in music or a dual major within music combining some more aspects of your areas of interest. Read through the thread here /a> and the links here /a>
Tom, I linked your thread in the admission forum /a> for background.Įxpanding on post #6, do you want to teach music in a public k-12 setting? That’s what a music ed degree does. majors are required to audition that some of my admission will be based on that, though I am not excusing my gpa, or saying that everything else makes up for it. I also feel that because Steinhardt MusicEd. I know my GPA is very weak, but I feel that I can make up for it. I led tours as well as ushered shows and was occasionally a cashier. ![]() I also volunteered at a local science museum. Volunteered time restoring a local historical theater, helping to clean up the old theater, as it fell in to disrepair after many years of disuse. I play piano and compose orchestral works and stage songs. I have many years of experience on violin, double-bass and guitar. Invited to play carnegie hall with school band. Participated in the local Honor Band for 2 years consecutively School’s theater technical director for two years I’ve taken AP World History, I got a 3 on the AP test.Īcademic Decathlon for two years, the first year my team was the state champion.Īnd medaled at the state level in multiple catagories. GPA as of my first quarter of senior year: 2.917 Which would bring my SAT up to around 1800, I am also looking at Berklee, Manhattan School of Music, and U of Chicago,īut I’m pretty sure NYU is my first choice.īut I plan on retaking it as I’ve been working on the math,Īnd I believe I’ve got it up to at least 600. I just have my high school band teacher who is more or less ignorant of strings. Its quite ridiculous to the point of being unbelievable. I don’t have a private instructor because there are none where I live. I am a senior in High School and go to an academically competitive private high school. ![]()
