My DS is planning on majoring in Music Business or Music Technology. His first choice school requires an audition. Will the bar be set lower for him since he won’t be a performance major?
I wish I had an answer for you. I can only speculate. I would guess that any audition program is going to be competitive. For Music Business, the “performance” background/considerations may be less important. Still I would guess that they would probably be looking for a strong music aptitude and music skills. It would probably depend also on the “pool of candidates” that apply to the school/program.
