<p>as the title says, i am applying to ccm for jazz studies and i am a guitarist. i was just wondering how many people usually apply and what percentage get accepted. i am worried about how difficult it is to get in and thinking i might not make it(if i don't get into college to study music, i will probably die!). this will be my 5th year playing guitar and my second year studying jazz. i have also been playing piano for 2 years. i currently attend a school for performing arts where i study jazz, and music theory. i am really nervous about my audition so if anyone has any experiences or audition advice that would be great. also, if anyone knows of some other colleges in ohio with good jazz programs that would be appreciated.</p>
<p>To get you started, run through here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/240407-audition-tips-info.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/240407-audition-tips-info.html</a> and the links within. Try doing a title search on CCM, or jazz. Look at the Master lists <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/665738-master-list-final-decisions-fall2009.html?highlight=Master[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/665738-master-list-final-decisions-fall2009.html?highlight=Master</a> (always use the last post, as it’s the most current. Scan for school and discipline, and search for past posts by a specific user that might have had an acceptance or matriculation) There’s links within each master to the prior year, typically found within the first couple of posts.</p>
<p>Time prohibits more detail, but I hope you have additional options besides CCM. The common wisdom is that you need more than one option. Any audition centric admit is a crapshoot, and acceptance can hinge on number of openings, peer group, specific instrument or discipline.</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>thank you for the post, i will check that stuff out. and yes i am applying to berklee and NIU among other back up schools. i really want to get in to ccm though, as i live in the cinci area.</p>
<p>@jazzlib, i cannot message you back, it says you do not accept messages. hope you see this.</p>
