<p>I am currently a junior and I am considering to apply for school of music for piano.
I know some people from my school that are in dual enrollment program but they are all from string and wind departments and doing great but I am not sure how difficult it is to get accepted to piano department.
And I want to know:
1. how hard it is to get accepted into piano department
2. if I need some big awards to get in</p>
<p>If anyone knows, please tell me...</p>
<p>I need the same information for flute department, too.</p>
<p>You need to call the department and ask how many kids auditioned for piano performance and how many were accepted. That gives you the yield. I don't think you need any awards. You need a good audition.</p>
<p>For flute, it may be a different story as the needs for the band/orchestral groups can dictate now many kids they will be accepting in a given year. You should also find out how many kids are leaving next year given their senior/grad status. I know a young lady who found out she was auditioning for one flute opening at CMU one year and there were a dozen or more auditioning just the same day she was. A pretty good indicator that the odds were not good that year for flutes.</p>
<p>I also want to get into a music school for piano, and i feel like i'm groping in the dark to find colleges with good music programs. What other colleges are you considering? do you want a BA in music or a BM in piano performance?</p>
