<p>I was wondering if anyone knew the biggest differences between steinhardt's music business program and tisch's recorded music program? Which one is harder to get into? I know for tisch your grades are as important as your portfolio, is it the same case for steinhardt' program? Any information would be really helpful! Thanks so much!</p>
<p>anyone? :)</p>
<p>I’m not 100% sure, but I doubt Steinhardt requires a portfolio to get in. I think you just apply with the regular application. FWIW, I think music business might have more real world applications than recorded music, but that’s just my humble opinion.</p>
<p>Well, I was looking on the website just a few days ago, and saw that Tisch’s program requires a portfolio, and Steinhardt has music business and music technology as two separate majors, in case you were looking more for the actual recording stuff, but all the Steinhardt music programs require an audition, though it even says that for music business and music technology that you don’t have to be an amazing musician to get in. </p>
<p>Hahaha I’m actually looking to do the same thing as you.</p>
<p>I don’t know why you wouldn’t think that grades aren’t just as important for Steinhardt as they would be for admission to Tisch.</p>
<p>Most music majors in Steinhardt will be based on a 50-50 split between talent and academics, but since music business in not really based on talent, I believe the emphasis will be more on academics and Ec’s. In a Junior Connection info session the head of music business made it clear that SAT scores (esp math) were looked at as were the math curriculum taken. They really liked to see calculus with decent grades. She explained that her students were to be taking Stern classes and needed the academics to keep up.</p>
<p>I saw that the music business program required a video of vocal and instrument even though no music classes per se are part of the program. Anyone know what is the reason for this?</p>
<p>Check out this link to the Steinhardt Music Business degree. <a href=“http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/music/business/curriculum/undergraduate[/url]”>http://steinhardt.nyu.edu/music/business/curriculum/undergraduate</a></p>
<p>It is a BM degree and you have to take a complete music curriculum (music theory, aural, keyboarding, etc.)</p>
<p>My daughter had a roommate who started in Tisch’s Recording Arts program and transferred into Steinhardt. I recall her reason had to do with not being able to do much with music (as a musician) in Tisch as she could in Steinhardt.</p>
<p>I thought I had my mind made up on steinhardt, but I’ve recently been thinking I might like tisch’s program better. I really can’t decide what would suit me more.
Does anyone know which program is more difficult to get into? Which one has more applicants/more available spaces? Both programs claim that it’s a 50/50 split between music and talent but which do you think would be easier academically (and put more emphasis on the talent aspect)?</p>
<p>I spoke to a lady at NYU and she said that tisch’s program requires no actual music background just a passion for it, however it does require a portfolio and steinhardt’s program does not (at least not from what I can tell on the website).</p>
<p>I can’t tell you much about it beyond the limited experience I have with it through my minor (Business of Entertainment, Media, & Technology, a cross-school minor between Stern, Tisch, and Steinhardt), but I do know that the Clive Davis Dept. is incredibly prestigious, well-respected within the industry, and an absolutely tremendous experience. The friends I have in it can’t praise it enough. On the other hand, the Steinhardt coursework I’ve had has been a joke. I don’t know if that’s because I’m used to being wrecked by the level of intensity Stern has, but Steinhardt was no challenge whatsoever.</p>
<p>If you want a quantitative business experience, apply to Stern and declare a second major in Steinhardt or two minors for your music interests. That’ll get you a top-5 business education that you can then apply to your area of interest, whereas a Steinhardt kid is going to come out with a less-respected degree.</p>
