<p>violadad, thank you for the info.</p>
<p>as far as the discipline, it would be guitar (a jazz or contemporary program).</p>
<p>the performance certificate definitely sounds like something of interest, as i’ll have a good bit of liberal art classes taken by the time i graduate, and i don’t see much point in fulfilling those requirements again. as far as the masters, i was (perhaps naively) under the impression that this was generally pursued after the bachelors. i do not know that my abilities would be at the masters level without some training at the bachelors level.</p>
<p>i hadn’t yet considered federal funding. i have a full-tuition scholarship right now, but i am using a small federal loan to help shoulder rent and such. i’ll have to look into that.</p>
<p>if i take these courses here (at my current school, and as a non-major), i’m not particularly concerned with whether or not they transfer; it wouldn’t be a big deal to retake them. would it be advantageous in terms of admission and general usefulness to go ahead and take these courses? or would it be best to wait and take them in the music program? is the caliber of theory courses generally the same across the board?</p>
