<p>Congratulations to lastbird and daughter.</p>
<p>I was accepted to University of Michigan (BM Choral Music Education), Michigan State University and Eastern Michigan University (BM Music Education)</p>
<p>S was accepted for Classical Guitar, Performance at CCM, Mannes, MSM, Carnegie Mellon, SUNY Fredonia and Ithaca.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Mww13 and to classguitarmom and son.</p>
<p>Mww13, from the program at Michigan, I will assume that your voice is your primary instrument unless you tell me otherwise.</p>
<p>classguitarmom, I assume that these are all for a BM, except Carnegie Mellon which would be a BFA. Please let me know if that is not correct at any school.</p>
<p>My S was accepted to Berklee (Boston) for a BM Composition / Guitar !!!
I’m so happy, and so relieved.<br>
Berklee was his #1, really his only, choice.
Also accepted at San Jose State University as a safety school.
Flying out to Boston (from SF Bay Area) this week for the Open House.</p>
<p>This is more exciting than my own college acceptance. :-></p>
<p>Congratulations to bsp123 and son.</p>
<p>Congratulations to headoflife and son, on son’s acceptance to Juilliard for a BM in trombone performance, as reported via PM.</p>
<p>Congratulations to cmu4ever and daughter, on daughters acceptance to Berklee and Belmont University, hopefully more details to follow, as noted in another thread.</p>
<p>S was accepted with scholarships to Berklee and UNT for Jazz Performance (Bass). Wait listed at NEC. Loves them all but is leaning toward UNT because of what he’s heard about their Jazz Bass Prof. Any thoughts?</p>
<p>Congratulations to JazzBass and son. I do not know the Jazz bass teacher at UNT, although the classical bass teacher (Bradetich) there is excellent. Perhaps someone else on this thread can help.</p>
<p>Lynn Seaton the Jazz bass professor at UNT is a great person to study under. I would choose UNT over Berklee for Jazz Bass no contest. I am not sure where the Berklee bass department is going under Steve Bailey a strong rock bassist.</p>
<p>Plus UNT is half the cost of Berklee, a big bonus for a musician!</p>
<p>S was just awarded an additional $3500 from the music dept at Hofstra</p>
<p>Found out today that I’ve been accepted to the Master of Music Program for violin performance at DePaul. I’m at the top of the waitlist at Rice. Definitely feeling like I will be putting off decision making to the last minute!</p>
<p>Re: Steve Bailey. I beg to differ. Under no circumstance would I call him a rock bassist. He is most definitely a jazz and jazz fusion bassist.</p>
<p><a href=“http://www.stevebaileybass.com/about.html”>http://www.stevebaileybass.com/about.html</a></p>
<p>Just because he plays both upright and electric and has performed with some rock bands does not make him a rock bassist. He has also played with Willie Nelson. That doesn’t make him a country bassist.</p>

<p>Right, poor word choice. Steve is a more contemporary/modern bassist perhaps is a better description? Berklee’s bass program has more students and professors, UNT jazz studies is much smaller and definitely acoustic bass focused. </p>
<p>Making the decision will depend on where the student felt the best fit. Congratulations on the acceptances!</p>
<p>JazzBass player I sent you a private message about Bass in Boston and at Berklee. If your son was interested in studying at NEC he should know that some teachers, such as John Lockwood have joint appointments and teach at both. If your son eventually wants to transfer to NEC he could go to Berklee and study with John and then reapply.</p>
<p>Going for a visit to Oberlin. Any thoughts on the teachers in the voice department. She is meeting with a few of them for lessons. Thanks!</p>
<p>Pleased to say S was accepted at the following schools for Classical studies:
Juilliard - MM Performance (Bass Trombone)
Mannes - MM Performance (Bass Trombone)
U of Maryland - MM Performance (Bass Trombone)
CalArts - MFA Performance (Bass Trombone)</p>
<p>OlivaMezzo: since my son is a composition major I have no personal experience with the voice faculty but Sydney Mancasola '11 who just won the Met’s National Council Auditions studied with Daune Mahy.</p>
<p>D just found out she is a recipient of the Brown Fellows Scholarship at University of Louisville. This is a full ride scholarship, tuition, room, board, books, international travel and research stipend. We are over the moon here!</p>
