Belmont Commercial Voice w/Songwriting minor vs Curb College Songwriting major

Hi All,

My D is a singer-songwriter applying to Belmont. In addition to the different admissions criteria, can someone help us determine the major differences in the above two programs? She is equally experienced in both songwriting and singing/playing and enjoys both. We don’t know which would be the best fit for her.

@Melodyminor Songwriting major is a BS or BA You’re getting a good dose of music business and gen ed courses.

Commercial voice with any minor is a BM your “core” are music courses.

Does she also write charts and scores when she writes a songs?

My son was accepted into the songwriting program in October.

@jerseyparents She does write charts and to some extent full instrumentation scores but she is slow at it. She already applied for Comm Music but is going to send a portfolio for consideration at Curb for songwriting as well. I’m hoping when she is there for her audition she will get a better sense of the programs.
