Important info for would-be college music majors: at most music schools, you have to take 6 progressive semesters of applied lessons before you can do your senior recital. You also have to take separate, progressive semesters of music theory and aural skills. So, if you go to a community college to get your “general studies” courses out of the way, then plan to transfer to another school to do your music stuff, you’ll end up spending MORE semesters in college than somebody who didn’t go to community college. Also, it should be noted that most music schools will not accept applied lessons or other music classes (such as music theory and aural skills) if you transfer from one college music program to another. This info might save you years of college and MANY thousands of dollars. You’re welcome. 🙂
