Ithaca sounds like a great MT and Music College and I would really love to do MT but I have no experience dancing or acting, only vocals. I am planning on majoring in vocals I was wondering if Ithaca offered double majoring in vocals/music and teaching since any double major in MT would probably be impossible to keep up with.
Hi @cloewater. You are correct: it is not possible to double major in MT at Ithaca with anything else, b/c MT itself is like a double major of theatre and music. But, there is a 4.5 year program in vocal performance and music education at Ithaca. Specifically, “Performance/music education (four-and-a-half-year program) – The performance standards of this program are the same as for the performance degree, with the additional requirements of the music education program. A special audition of a rigorous nature before a committee is required of students desiring to be performance/music education majors. For entering freshmen, this may occur as their entrance audition to the School of Music. However, most students interested in the performance/music education degree wait until the end of their first or second semester for their audition. In the audition the student must exhibit the potential to fulfill, with distinction, the recital obligations of the program.” All the information is on the web site. Good luck!
Wow, thank you for your reply! This is very useful information, thanks so much!
