I am a prospective Musical Theatre student. I was rejected from FSU’s Musical Theatre program, however, I am still interested in their programs and their school, mostly because I am a practicing circus artist and they have one of the few circus programs in the country. I am also considering BA programs in my search, with double majoring or minoring in music (theory/composition) or dance, which the BA program would give me the flexibility to do.
However, what I really want in college is TRAINING, and how much musical training can I get if I am a BA student as opposed to a BFA or BM student? Can I still take dance classes and vocal lessons? Dance is very important to me, as it is probably what I am strongest at in the MT world, and so are voice lessons, as I am not as strong a singer as many others and would like to continue training.
Is it possible to still get intense musical theatre training with FSU’s BA in theatre?
