Questions to ask of colleges…
Will your music classes be large or small?
Are courses and private lessons taught by
professors or graduate students?
If you are majoring in performance, securing a
specific private teacher maybe more important than
which school you attend. If that teacher is also a
performer, will the teacher’s performance schedule
conflict with your lessons?
Is the music program large enough to provide
satisfactory band, orchestra, chorus, chamber
music, production, or other ensemble
experiences?
Are students allowed to take private lessons
during all four years? At some schools, musical
theatre and/or music education majors are not
allowed to take four years of private lessons,
especially with professors.
If you are thinking of a minor in music, does the
school have a minor in music option? Are music
minors allowed to participate in private lessons,
performance ensembles, shows, etc?
Does the school allow students to audition for
shows or operas as freshmen and sophomores?
Will the school’s graduate program affect your
access to performance
