<p>(I posted this question in the Vanderbilt forum with no response)</p>
<p>Does anyone out there know anything about Vanderbilt's 5 year bachelors/masters music ed program? It seems interesting, but I do not have any context for their music program. Are admissions very competitive? What other music schools is it comparable to? </p>
<p>Thanks for your help!</p>
<p>Vanderbilt’s Blair School of Music is comparable directly to Northwestern’s Bienen School of Music. Both are very competitive, with great grades and musical abilities needed and they both stress academics in their programs.</p>
<p>Thanks! I had no idea music admissions were so competitive. Do you know anything about study abroad in their music program or specifics about the 5 year music ed program?</p>
<p>I don’t know any specifics about their programs because Vandy didn’t personally interest me due to their strong emphasis on core academic curriculum and I want to go to a conservatory so I’d suggest you Google what you’re looking for or at least “Vanderbilt University Blair School of Music” and start from there. If you have a really specific question, my dad is good friends with the chancellor’s brother so I could probably direct you to the people you need to talk to.</p>
<p>Thanks for your help! I see there is a similar thread to this one…I will check there too.</p>
