<p>I was wondering, does cmu have a student concert band/ orchestra for non majors? For some reason I can't find it on the website... Also, is it possible to minor in music at cmu? And if so, is it difficult to balance coursework and practice time (if anyone knows)?</p>
<p>I know the Kiltie Band plays normal concerts in the spring semester, and most of them are non-majors. I think it’s possible to minor in music, and it’s certainly possible to double major (one of my friends in Materials Engineering managed it, though it took him an extra semester).</p>
<p>Yes, there are options to perform for non-majors. In the fall, D2 and friend checked into it. I believe it was on a walk-in basis. Unfortunately, they didn’t need a pianist this yr. But, in order to keep up with her skills, she’s been taking private lessons with music professor (a former Julliard grad). There are 2 piano practice rooms in her dorm. She says that the room where her lessons take place is amazing! Two grand pianos facing each other…</p>
