<p>Congratulations to BrassMom17 and son.</p>
<p>In case you missed my earlier post, daughter has decided to attend the University of Oklahoma for a Bachelor of Music Arts in flute.</p>
<p>D will attend Harvard-NEC dual degree program. Harvard AB 2017. NEC MM 2018. Undecided on major at Harvard but the program requires you to take 50% of the requirements for a music major anyway: 7 out of 13 courses (15 for honors), unless you test out of some music theory. Majoring in jazz voice at NEC. I think most of the students in the program have been classical. Some jazz instrumentalists over the years. She believes she may be the first jazz vocalist in the Harvard-NEC program, but not sure about that.</p>
<p>I’ve never heard of a jazz performer, let alone a vocalist, at the Harvard NEC program. Congrats to your daughter!</p>
<p>Son decided on Peabody.</p>
<p>Amazing JazzVocal with your daughter, that is a feat. Like GH, I have never heard of someone getting into that in Jazz, and it is incredibly hard to get into as they only take 1 or 2 students each year I hear, so that is something to celebrate, indeed;).</p>
<p>I know a student in the double degree program with Harvard who is studying jazz piano at NEC as well as composition. It was the reason he chose Harvard over a number of other wonderful choices - to have access to the jazz department at NEC.</p>
<p>@SpiritManager: jazz piano and composition at Harvard-NEC…Chase?</p>
<p>jazzvocals- I PMed you. My son is an entering Sophomore at NEC. Two boys who he was in an ensemble with last year were in Jazz/CI at NEC are also in the joint program at Harvard. </p>
<p>Feel free to message me with any questions. I am local and can answer questions about Harvard as well.</p>
<p>Thanks for the congratulations. The CC forums are very supportive.</p>
<p>I am eager to hear what any of you have to say about Harvard, NEC or Berklee for that matter, since my D knows people at all three schools and expects to play with any of them.</p>
<p>I need to get a few more posts to be able to respond to PMs. So include an email if you want. But a few more of these one or two line posts and I will be there. ;)</p>
<p>Congratulations to AliT0173 and daughter, jazzvocals and daughter, and Comp2013 and son.</p>
<p>jazzvocals, my daughter starts her MM in the CI department at NEC this year studying double bass and voice. Perhaps they will perform together in the next couple of years, since I understand the CI and Jazz departments frequently work together. I have a hunch they will both be studying with the same applied voice teacher.</p>
<p>Thank you, BassDad. Daughter enrolled today and is so excited about the classes she will be taking and the options she has. Congrats to your daughter as well!</p>
<p>Can I bump this thread for Fall 2014 acceptances for undergraduate vocal performance? Can someone who is better at this than me start a new thread?</p>
