<p>What kind of music program does Cal offer to non-music majors? </p>
<p>Although I think I want to be a Math/Econ double major, I still would like to learn to play the piano...is this possible? Many of the Music dept classes are only for muisc majors.</p>
<p>Anyone else learn to play an instrument at Cal?</p>
<p>I would love to learn to play the piano too</p>
<p>hi-
i myself am trying to do the same thing. contacted the private lesson teachers at cal for piano, and many of them cannot take non-majors as students, and others do not take beginners. they suggest looking for off-campus teachers. craigslist is a good place to start looking for teachers in the berkeley area, with some offering discounts for college students. i am going to start in the fall - im really excited! i have 5 yrs of violin experience but have always wanted to learn piano! :D</p>
<p>Where did you find out about private lessons from cal teachers? I am not a beginner (have studied string bass for 8 years) so that would be great if they could offer lessons to non-music majors. Also play the electric bass, so any jazz type lessons would be awesome...</p>
<p>oh, go to:</p>
<p>contact the instructors on the list in your instrument area and see what they have to say about teaching a non-major. it's definitely worth a shot. good luck!</p>
<p>looks like there's only one instructor specializing in string bass. richard worn.</p>
