These schools are in no particular order.
Any other schools I should check out? I don't really want a conservatory. If anyone has annce with any of these schools please PM or post!</p>
<p>Oberlin can swing either way, depending on how the student chooses to use electives. Of the 124 credit hours required for graduation from the conservatory, 79 must be taken within the conservatory, 24 must be taken in the college and 21 may be taken from either. </p>
<p>If the student wanted music classes 24/7, the 24 college hours could include things like Introduction to African American Music (parts 1 and 2 for a total of 6 credit hours), Introduction to Musics of the World (3 credit hours), Musical Acoustics (3 credit hours), Psychobiological Perspectives on the Arts (3 hours), Sonic Revolutions, Sonic Revelations (4 credit hours), Introduction to Capoeira Angola (3 credit hours), and Intermediate/Advanced Capoeira Angola (3 credit hours) or any of several music-related EXCO courses on musical subjects (1 credit each). Then all of the free electives could be taken in the conservatory. With such a schedule, every last class would have something to do with music. (Assuming at least a 580 verbal SAT to get the exemption from a freshman writing course.)</p>
<p>Alternatively, the college electives and free electives could all be taken in exclusively non-musical areas allowing the student to take 45 credit hours or more (if the 124 total credit hour requirement is exceeded) in some other field or fields.</p>
