<p>yeah i know that entering a performance major needs years of training so i just plan to go for a BA on applied emphasis. it does require an audition but the criteria may not be as high as for BM.
my background is years of doing bands, singing and a few of instruments. i can do ear a little training and musicbtheory though i never have attended classical voice lessons .but i learn that it is not too late for me to start learning classical voice at this age. also, since BA degree requires less credits needed to graduate, i think it is doable to graduate in four years.
and for the dual degree part, i am not sure so far which other fields i would be interested in, not if i start my college courses.</p>
