<p>UC…I never said it was impossible to practice 6-7 hours a day…I said it was impossible to do so WHILE STUDENT TEACHING. Not enough hours in the day.</p>
<p>I’m very confused about your goals. It sounds like UCLA does a fine job with its performance majors. Can’t you just switch from music ed to performance and stay there? It sounds from your posts that you really don’t want to teach in a public school system but rather want to do private instruction or something similar while also having time to practice and perform. That being the case, it seems like you would be transfering to a performance based program (which you say UCLA does well…so why the need to transfer?). But then you keep mentioning music education (why?? if that is not what you want to do or intend to do).</p>
<p>Am I confused…yep.</p>
<p>Where are you an instate resident? Have you looked at programs within your state at public universities where your education would not be as costly as OOS tuition at a UC?</p>
