<p>SO I am going for Vocal Pedagogy. I have a 4 1/2 octave range and have been a trained singer since the age of four. Im now 17 in my senior year and want to make all my dreams come true.
I KNOW for a fact I want to audition at Juilliard and Manhattan School of Music
but my list has a lot on it can someone help me out?
Oberlin
Boston Conservatory
New England Conservatory
American Music and Dance Academy aka AMDA (I feel like it is more of my fall back/ sure thing)
Columbus State University (Its close to home :/)
Appalachian State University (not as close but has a really good program potentially a stepping stone)
Shorter (My Chorus director claims Ill get a full ride?)
Sanfrancisco Conservatory</p>
<p>and theres more but these are my top. If you have reccomendations im open! Also like realistically what are my chances of actually making it?</p>
<p>I think in most cases your acceptance will depend on your audition. Have you considered Oklahoma City University? What can your parents afford to pay?</p>
<p>Do you mean you want to study Vocal Pedagogy – meaning the study of teaching singing, or Vocal Performance? Vocal Pedagogy is not often offered as an undergraduate major. Music Education, yes… but that degree program is for people who would like to teach music in the K-12 public schools.</p>
<p>AMDA does not offer a degree in classical voice. </p>
<p>You have a very varied list of schools… some are more academically oriented, some more conservatory based. Do you have a private voice teacher who can help you focus your list of schools? </p>
