<p>Hello guys,
I have 16 years old and I'm looking for a diploma degree program.I've played piano for 5 years and I have also participated in solfege,theory and harmony classes,but the thing is that I'm looking for a very low-tuition place.Can you help me find some affordable colleges?</p>
<p>We need more information from you. What year are you in high school and at what level are you playing (piano is very competitive and in general, 5 years of prep won’t get you into a top program)? What do you want to do in music later on- perform, coach, teach? Do you want a BM program or BA and do you have a geographical preference and one for size of the school?
You mention cost, but are you willing to work during school or apply for loans? Tell us more about you and I know you’ll get some good advice here.</p>
<p>If you are from outside of the United States, you will find it much cheaper to study in Europe or in Canada, unless you can estabish residency in a state and attend a public university’s music school.</p>
<p>I’m second grade of high school and I’m studying mathematics(due to some problems that we have in Iran I couldn’t get in to a music school and I have studied with private teachers)Right now I’m playing Mozart sonatas,the well-tempered clavier from Bach ,Moszkowski etudes and Chopin valses.I know French and English so any country that these languages are spoken are suitable but I prefer English-speaking countries.I wish to study for music diploma to gain more preparation for BM degree.I prefer to work during school but I also like to know about the scholarships that universities offer.</p>
<p>Which universities in Canada offer music diplomas and what is the average tuition money that they demand for international students?</p>
<p>The only university I’ve researched in Canada is McGill in Montreal, where tuition for international students is about $17,000–still less than half of what US universities charge.</p>
<p>In England, it’s around $22,000 a year and up for international students.</p>
<p>In The Netherlands, the three international conservatories (Hague, Amsterdam and another where English is used) charge about $7,000 per year for international students.</p>
<p>French universities are also quite inexpensive, something like the Netherlands.</p>
