Hi! I’m a junior in high school and I’m beginning to look at colleges. Some things about me first:
I’ve been playing classical piano for 12 years. I’ve completed all leves of NYSSMA (if you know what that is). I got a 99 on my level 6 my sophomore year and decided it wasn’t worth it to try and get a 100.
I also play a lot of contemporary stuff and bit of jazz.
I’m a singer as well. I’ve won a fair amount of small competitions and whatnot.
My overall average in high school thus far is around a 98.
I’m taking 3 AP classes and 4 honors classes this year. I’ve taken A LOT of honors/advanced classes each year of high school.
-Expecting 4s or 5s on my AP tests and good scores on SATIIs.
-Expecting very good SAT scores.
-I’ve got a lot of extracurriculars, community service, etc.
So, now that you know a bit about me, my question:
What are some other colleges with programs similar to NYU’s Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music (ReMu)?
I visited ReMu last month and I absolutely fell in love with it. It’s everything I want: focusing on recorded contemporary music, in a big city. However, the price tag is simply too high and NYU seems to be stingy with its financial aid. I know that programs like ReMu are not common, but are there any other similar ones? I live in NY, but I’m okay with traveling. I remember reading about one at USC or UCLA (not sure which). Any state schools (besides Crane)? Thank you so much for your time!
This is a common question on the Music Major forum, and all the answers are there, if you browse through the threads, or do some key word searching. There are a limited number of options for you, but they exist. You can also repost your question there.
