<p>I've read through many pages of posts here and still need some direction. My son is a HS sophomore and plays piano and guitar. He loves theory and can listen to a song once and play it. He plays piano at churches and makes decent money, enabling to purchase his equipment. He plays with his HS jazz band, a local community band and has formed his own "rock" band and loves to perform. He loves all kinds of music. Music is his life as many of you seem to feel your son/daughter is the same.</p>
<p>He's good, but not a superstar - not sure he'd fare well at an audition. He'd like to major in music but not sure exactly what...he does NOT want to teach and realizes he's not good enough to go into performance. How do we explore other music majors? Where do we begin? I've read about Music Therapy and Music Business - what else is out there and how do we get more info?</p>
<p>He is very strong in math and science and has also expressed an interest in Pharmacy!</p>
<p>He was recently diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease which will most likely result in a transplant somewhere down the road. I don't want to limit him, but I'm nervous about him being too far away from home. We're in western MA so would look at schools in the northeast, midwest and southeast as possibilities. We'd like to begin to visit schools Spring 2012. He's the youngest of 3, so we've been through the college search process with the other 2 - but not with music majors!</p>
<p>Thanks for any insight!</p>
