I got accepted to the Chicago College of Performing Arts (Roosevelt University) for Jazz & Contempoary music. Is it a good music program? Is it hard to get into?
The Jazz & Cotemp program at CCPA is unique in that you’ll be out performing in The Jazz Showcase, a club in Chicago that’s been there since the 40’s. Professionals visit the school on a regular basis to coach, perform and hold master classes. It’s a very selective program and you’ll get a lot of great experience! PM me if you have any more questions.
My daughter is currently a music performance major at CCPA. The music school is not intense enough for her. She is transferring to another school next year.
It’s very dependent upon the major there, much like any other school. I would highly recommend it for some majors and not so much for others.
