Re: Picking A School

Reese,

There are a couple of additional dimensions that you probably need to consider when choosing a school to attend.

These include:

1. What is the enrollment? Too small and many activities will not be available.
2. Where is the school located? Size of town and what is there for you to do when not attending classes. Social life, shopping, and entertainment will be very important for the next four years.
3. How is the library? Even though there are lots of resources available online you still will need academic librarian assistance.
4. What performing groups are available for you? The curriculum will contain a requirement to participate in several other groups. Some of my best experiences were in operetta workshop (I was in a Gilbert & Sullivan production) and festival choir (we had several hundred voices and performed major oratorios).
5. What is caliber of the music theory, sight-singing, and harmony faculty? These are courses that are the bedrock of the music curriculum.
6. How is housing and the food?

I am sure there are other things that you will think of but remember, attending college is a maturation process that will tell you much about yourself and the world. The only place I think I learned more was the 3 years I spent on active duty in the US Army.

Best of luck,

HRL
