| I see, compmom. I was confused because I know a composer who graduated from BU without taking instrumental lessons, and he couldn't have played in ensembles because his major instrument is piano. I guess he auditioned on piano and fulfilled the ensemble requirement with chorus, as would any piano major.
They do seem to shoot themselves in the foot with that requirement, I agree. However,that's no reason to doubt the quality of the program; the accomplishments of the composition graduates from 2006 alone should make that clear. |
