Exploring interests in college, how do I choose classes?
I'm a high school senior who has interest in multiple fields for college. One thing I'm looking at is engineering school. I know a lot of colleges have separate GEs or core requirements for engineering majors but I would still like to explore other subjects such as foreign language and music. How would I go about this in college and when choosing classes? #engineering #college-advice #college-major #college #foreign-languages #engineer #music #college-majors
How do I prepare for a more general music career?
Hi, I'm a senior in high school who wants to pursue music as a career. But most of the majors and programs I find are very specific and would not allow me to explore all the facets of music that would help me find my niche and strengths/weaknesses. How should I approach the college process so that I do not feel trapped in a major I don't like or unable to attend a school that has a great music program, but not the one I'm looking for? #music #composition #contemporary #music-production #music-industry #music-education

Is it better to audition with dancing or without dancing?
I am looking to apply to several colleges for musical theater, but I am not the best dancer. I can sort of follow a choreographer, but I'm not as precise as many other people and I'm afraid that my dancing may be the make or break point for accepting me into their university. One of my closest friends who did get into a college for musical theater did tell me that they start you from the basics anyways in college, regardless of how well or how bad you did at the auditions, and that they just want to see potential for growth. 1) Is that true? And 2) is it better for me to audition for a college that only requires my stronger points (which is singing and acting) or to a college that I may not get into because someone is a better dancer than me? Also, how big of a part does the interview play? Is it a major deciding factor? Is it often that the acceptance team will like a person so much that they would disregard a specific lack of something? Much advice is appreciated! #musical-theatre #college #college-admissions #college-major #college-bound #dance #music #acting

What subject teacheables of teachers are in the rise for hiring in the education system?
I am a senior in High School, I am looking into pursuing music education. If my plans do not go well at first, I will pursue a major in English. My guidance counsellor and other teachers have told me French is one of the easiest ways to get hired into a school board system - in Canada specifically. Since, it is one of our official and mandatory classes. I might decide to minor in French, and see how it goes. I'm not sure how much I want to do French. I do enjoy the language and I love it. It's just a matter of teaching it to kids who either don't care or do on a secondary level or not. Regardless, what seems more of a compact teacher?

Is an undergraduate Community Music Program, a good transition into music education?
Hi, I'm a senior in High School, looking to pursue music education. This certain program that I found, which I meet the credentials for, offers students the learning experience of music in community groups and increases leadership. This is the only program I can get into with my level of Piano and Theory for music. I want to get into music as fast as I can. Do you think this sort of program can be a good transition into music education or should I focus on majoring on a certain instrument such as the piano? #education #music #music-education
For any musicians, Wilfried Laurier’s undergrad, Community Music Program is a program which doesn’t require any RCM equivalent, but has an advanced rudiments theory test. As a person who only has knowledge of basic, how much of a disadvantage do I have?
I am a senior hoping to pursue in Laurier’s community music program. The audition is no worry for myself, but as an RCM level 4, soon to be 5 pianist, I only have basic theory knowledge. I am studying past basic and pursuing an All elementary theory book, but how difficult would this be for myself? What are your thoughts on this program as well? This program focuses on leadership and music. I’m planning to branch out into music education afterwards. I feel like this undergrad will be an asset. #music #music-education #music-theory
