<p>I really want to go to college for guitar performance. CONTEMPORARY guitar performance. problem is.. i'm not sure if i could do the Musicians Institute thing. they dont have dorm rooms and i'm not sure how well that would play out. so what colleges offer degrees similar to MI? something thats contemporary... and modern! Something where i dont have to go through all that stuff that i dont want to learn.</p>
<p>I suggest that you post this on the music majors forum. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/</a></p>
<p>Some schools to look at…</p>
<p>Berklee, MA
Belmont, TN
USC, CA</p>
<p>PS… as a part of any educational program you will likely need to study things that you do not think you need/ want to learn. Generally, the things that degree programs ask of you are things that they believe you need to learn to master your craft/ achieve your educational goal.</p>
<p>Also – many music schools do have dorms, etc… it all depends on the school.</p>
