| I'll second singermom7's comment.
We had been looking at my daughter doing a double major vocal performance/music ed, but have spoken to enough college faculty that we are reconsidering that approach.
If your daughter's love is performing, let her pursue performance wholeheartedly -- because she won't have the passion for music ed that college-level programs and faculty are looking for.
Besides which, take a look at how long it will take a double-major student to come out with the two bachelors'. If it's six years or longer, it might be more cost-efficient in the long run to get your performance bachelor's, then return for a master's in music ed (or whatever). You'll spend virtually the same amount of time, but a master's is a more marketable degree.
What you can do is research where your daughter can go to pursue performance for a reasonable tuition. That's our focus now. |
