Where to study music?
I am a Senior at the University of Wyoming. I am a psychology major here. I have recently made the decision to transfer out of Wyoming after this spring semester and do a double major of both psychology and music- performance (voice). Now here are the kind of things I'm looking for in a school.
Preferred warmer climate Voice program- not too selective, I'm still early in my voice studies. Reasonable annual tuition (maybe 25k a year max, I have residency in colorado) Medium sized school (between 7-15k students) Music program- rigorous, challenging That probably seemed like a contradiction so I'll explain. I want to get into a music program that is challenging and that will push me to limits unimaginable. I am willing to put in hours upon hours of work and time into my vocal studies. But I need a school that isn't too selective at initial audition. I'm not the most talented vocalist out there, I just need to get my foot in the door, and then I know I will work hard to become a more talented vocalist. So I'm looking for a challenging music program that accepts a large amount of people. Thanks for your help! Ads |

Your best course is to earn your psychology and then study privately with a rigorous voice instructor.
It is often impossible to transfer if you are halfway through the senior year and you will have to meet the course requirements of a new school for the psychology major and for its general education requirements, as well as for the music major. Many universities will not allow a double major in psychology and music performance, especially if the latter degree is a bachelor of music or bachelor of fine arts. Do not throw away the nearly completed psychology degree. You may want it as a prerequisite to a master's program in psychology or social work if you eventually find yourself among the great majority of trained vocalists who cannot make a living from their art. The challenging music programs are very selective in admission. You are seeking a program which does not exist. Ads |
