I am an upstate NY high school senior looking to major in music composition. I have been accepted early action to Berklee School of Music and am suddenly realizing how much an undergraduate degree there will cost me. Reconsidering my options, a big desire of mine is to be located in a "happening" city like NYC, Seattle, Boston etc. I see that these colleges are "cheap" and apparently reputable and am wondering what one(s) is the best for music, specifically composition/film scoring if possible. Also any information on requisites like auditions or deadlines I may have passed (I want to apply for fall of 09) would be awesome if available. I've started communicating with a few of them but can't tell which ones to focus on.
thanks
I also major on the electric bass and schools like Eastman and SUNYs Fredonia and Purchase would not allow a focus on that. I'm hoping the CUNY schools don't care (Berklee did not).
Can someone give feedback on the Aaron Copland pre-college / preparatory program, specifically for piano? Also it's so-called "conservatory track".
Do its alumni go on to top music conservatories for college like Juilliard, New England Conservatory, or even conservatories overseas?
