I’m not talking about government handouts strictly for musicians. I’d very much like to see every major come at no cost to the student so long as he or she remained in good academic standing. Do you have any idea how many billions of dollars America’s top colleges are raking in, all the while hiking tuition fees for students? It’s downright mad.

Nietzsche once stated that without music, life would be senseless. If you want to be a cabbage, then never listen to music again.

Agreed etool782. It’s always one side wanting to make you think the other’s to blame.

Sorry, no disrespect intended, but conservatory tuition is ridiculous, textbooks are nothing in comparison. We’re talking 30,000 per year not including housing. (If you are lucky, they might deem you worthy for 1/3 tuition scholarship. The lack of government funding in this country for the arts is appalling.)

Una profética efluxión de miedos,
entre el menudo aprisco de tus dedos,
como un David, el piano interpretaba.
En tanto, desde el místico occidente,
la media luna, al ver que te besaba,
entr´´o al jardín y se durmió en tu frente.

Alucinando los silencios míos,
al asombro de un cielo estranñeza
la flébil devoción de tu cabeza
aletargó los últimos devíos.
Con violetas antiguas, los tardíos
perdones de tus ojos mi aspereza
mitigaron. Y entonces la tristeza
se alegró como un llanto de rocíos.

Only $150,000? Try med school tuition!
Seriously, you’re right…people are trapped in dead-end jobs because they have to pay loans for years and years. Government funding for education has suffered since Reagan, and unfortunately it shows in what Americans know about the world.

You didn’t know the costs before you signed for a student loan? I didn’t go to college because I couldn’t afford it. I didn’t just say, “What the hell, I want a degree”, and sign my life away. It meant military service and then mainly service-oriented jobs, but such is life. I’m retired at 46 and loving it.

This guy’s a moron. A fool and his money.

150K for music? he must of missed the joke about liberal arts majors on orientation day. it goes something like “would you like fries with that?”

Work on your embouchure it sucks, technique
January 27th, 2009 at 12:59 am
actually, MIT Has a joint program with New England Conservatory.
And Berklee.. well, they DO take anyone that applies. Berklee is a business, as well as a good music school. they are one of the only schools that actually MAKES money every year. they take everyone who applies, takes their money, then half of them flunk out.

Yale offers a full ride to every music grad student. reguardless of income.

I once took a violin lesson with Dorothy DeLay at the Aspen Music School. She told me that, unlike other teachers, she encourages students to listen to recordings. Why? Because if you took a lesson with a famous violinist like Francescatti, he might say “Well do it like this” and then play a passage for you. It’s a lot cheaper just listen to his recordings. So I wonder if it’s worth it to pay so much to attend a conservatory. Just buy some cd’s of artists you admire.

everyone’s embouchure is different- don’t be playing god buddy
June 2nd, 2009 at 12:36 am
He could be a much better player if he would center is mouthpiece on his mouth, at least, there is a certain technique in getting a good sound with the embouchure, sure everyone has a diffrent one, but the proffesionals there embouchures are pretty close in technique

Why you study with a teacher is that while you will need to hear them play, you need someone to hear how you are playing and fix the physical things that are wrong with what you are doing. Their ability to diagnose your strengths and weaknesses and help you solve your problems is what you pay them for.

@ Queens
So the solution is “everyone go ivy league”
Unfortunately even if you are qualified if you are white the odds are stacked against you getting in to an ivy league. Tens of thousands of students with 4.3 gpas and perfect SATs get rejected every year.
While hard work matters somewhat you must consider the economic disadvantages faced by students.
You honestly cannot say it is their fault they didn’t get in to an Ivy league?
There are many things out of their control.

@ColostusRex
You are very ignorant of service jobs. I will be moving into retail management when i graduate and I assure you people on top of the service world work their asses off.
I know CPAs who work 90 hour weeks doing taxes. Obviously college is unnecessary but it opens doors that otherwise would be closed

Pfff top colleges are overrated. Academics are not the real world. Plenty of fortune 500 CEOs have degrees from no name schools.
Hard work in the workplace is what gets you far in life! A good friend of mine has a masters and a Doctorate from MIT. He has mentored me through my studies at my community college and some of his most successful friends have degrees from no name state schools.
High school is overrated too. In cali you can transfer from CC to UC.

Scuse me, you little typist. I HAVE a service job. If you’ll re-read my post carefully, you’ll (maybe) understand that my hypothetical job was a fictional one that RECENT GRADUATES SEEM TO EXPECT. And REALLY? College opens doors? Duh. I never said it didn’t. I just said it was unnecessary. I know carpenters who work 90 hours a week. I know lazy teenagers who play video games 90 hours a week. What does working 90 hours mean? You get a medal? If it takes 90 hours to do your job, your job sucks.
December 5th, 2009 at 2:22 pm
CPA’s are paid by the number of billable hours they rack up. During tax season they try to bill as many hours to as many clients. The ones who work 90 hours a week can make over 300k a year if they work in a medium or large size firm.
