Hedging: Vocal Performance & Academics

College Majors Music Major

<p>LouisJ, welcome and congrats on your d’s acceptances. I may not be much help for vocal programs, but can point you in a few directions.</p>

<p>First, have your d read this [Peabody</a> Institute - Conservatory Admissions: The Double Degree Dilemma](<a href=“http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/doubledegree]Peabody”>Double Degree | Peabody Institute) if she hasn’t already.
It may help her sort things out.</p>

<p>Similar angst from a Hopkins/Peabody dual admit student last year <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/690519-so-confused.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/690519-so-confused.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Besides the strength of the vocal teachers and her feel for the music program, ease of shifting gears should she decide to drop one of the two pursuits? Will the music program work if she wants to concentrate solely on performance, will she lose an academic or talent scholarship if she drops a major? Will the academics be right if she wants to drop vp? What are her options for lessons and participation if she drops a vp major and still wants to participate recreationally?</p>

<p>I don’t think I’ve heard a bad word about Westminster here or anywhere else.
From prior Master lists, theantidiva is a vp major at Westminster. Click on her name in the post here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/theantidiva-254054.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/theantidiva-254054.html&lt;/a&gt;, and a drop down menu appears. You may want to ask program specific questions in an email. (rather than a private message, as her last activity was in July).</p>

<p>The poster rudysmom son is a music therapy (cell0) major at Loyola. Try a private message, from the link here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/rudysmom-108807.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/members/rudysmom-108807.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>There’s not much detail in past threads about Puget Sound.</p>

<p>LouisJ, as a first time poster you may not be aware, but there’s a Master Acceptance thread here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/817953-master-list-acceptances-fall-2010-a.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/817953-master-list-acceptances-fall-2010-a.html&lt;/a&gt;. If you specify the degree type(s) and program(s), we’d be happy to add your daughter to the list.</p>
