<p>Hi, I'm visiting Vassar on Thursday, and I will certainly be applying next year. I'm heavily involved in music and I am considering it as a possible major. What is the music program at Vassar like? What's it like for music majors?
Thanks for the help.</p>
<p>The director of the orchestra is one of the nicest people I have ever met. When visiting colleges with my daughter, who was a first semester senior, my tenth grade son fell in love with Vassar and went to look at the music facilities. This great man showed him the pipe organ, the music library and the practice rooms. They corresponded until it was time for my son to apply to Vassar. He was accepted, but in the end chose a different school, but it was with great regret.</p>
<p>Vassar has Steinways everywhere, a gift from Steinway after one of the Steinway daughters attended.</p>
<p>The music program is excellent.</p>
<p>Yo! If you’re looking to be involved with music, I have a bunch of friends who are at Oberlin College - not the Conservatory - who are music majors and/or heavily involved in the music scene. If you qualify, which I’m sure you will, you can get free lessons from a professor at the Con for credit. A degree in music from Oberlin is a big deal. Also, the only place on earth with more Steinways than Oberlin is the Steinway factory. I’m only saying these things because a lot of people choose between Vassar and Oberlin. The two share a number of similarities. I would talk more about the availability of practice rooms and the super awesome fact that all organ majors get keys to Finney Chapel, but this would get too long.</p>
<p>i’ve heard that vassar was the one with the most steinways, though oberlin has the better music school and actual conservatory.</p>
<p>but you get free music lessons at vassar if you are on fin. aid.</p>
