Useful Music Links

<p>a college student recommended this site to my daughter. We haven’t played with it fully yet, but it looks like it has potential: [Music</a> Lessons, Schools, Workshops, Classes, Festivals | Bridge to Music](<a href=“http://www.bridgetomusic.com/]Music”>http://www.bridgetomusic.com/)</p>

<p>my son, 17, is interested in finding a program that is strictly performance based. His grades would probably prevent him from attending a degree school but has the talent and drive to enroll in a certificate program similar to Music Institute in LA. I was hoping for something more East coast. Any suggestions</p>

<p>The Music & Entertainment Industry Educators Association has a page listing their institutional members - which appear to be 2-yr & 4-yr colleges and vocational schools. Last year we used it to get a great start on identifying colleges with music industry/technology programs for my son. He’s now a freshman at the University of Miami, majoring in Music Engineering Technolgy - a program we identified through this list.</p>

<p>One used to have to join the organization to get all this info - now it seems to be available to all: [American</a> Composers Forum | Upcoming Opportunities](<a href=“http://www.composersforum.org/opportunities-upcoming]American”>http://www.composersforum.org/opportunities-upcoming)</p>

<p>Hey Guys,</p>

<p>I am starting a series of articles about finding a jazz program that is a good fit for you and getting in to that program. Here is the link to my blog:</p>

<p>[The</a> Melodic Drummer: Getting Into A College Jazz Program: Part 1](<a href=“http://haredrums.blogspot.com/2011/11/getting-into-college-jazz-program-part.html]The”>The Melodic Drummer: Getting Into A College Jazz Program: Part 1)</p>

<p>Check it out and let me know what you think.</p>

<p>These are two extremely helpful music theory links.
This one has examples of everything from triads to musical form, and has many exercises (even ear training!)
[teora</a> - Music Theory Web](<a href=“http://www.teoria.com%5Dteora”>http://www.teoria.com)</p>

<p>This one starts out more basic and does not get as advanced, but is still helpful for almost anyone.
[Ricci</a> Adams’ Musictheory.net](<a href=“http://www.musictheory.net%5DRicci”>http://www.musictheory.net)</p>

<p>Both of these can help greatly in preparation for an AP test, of more importantly theory placement tests for college.</p>

<p>This one is from the Peabody web site, and it talks about what is often discussed on here, what to do with a music degree and it mirrors a lot of my own thoughts:</p>

<p>I’ll also post this as its own thread, but since this one is pinned to the top, it is good to have it here as well.</p>

<p>"Thornton Videos
In 2007, Thornton became the first music school in the country with its own dedicated YouTube page after USC established an institutional channel on the popular Web site.</p>

<p>Highlights include interviews with current faculty artists, classical and jazz pianists Daniel Pollack and Alan Pasqua, excerpts from a recent documentary on the life of the cello legend Eleonore Schoenfeld, who passed away last year, performances of Adam del Monte on flamenco guitar and a student jazz group, SuperAxe, as well as excerpts from the school’s storied program in scoring for motion pictures and television.</p>

<p>Much of the video content is a result of our collaboration with ArtistsHouseMusic.org, an interactive platform that provides expert advice from some of the most successful music entrepreneurs, thinkers and educators in the country."</p>
