| I'm sure there are many people on this forum who would like to help you, but you need to do a little homework too. Have you checked out CMU's website? You can find out about their curriculum there. You'll see that virtually all of the coursework is in the MT major. MT is considered to be a double major at CMU. You will take the same drama curriculum as the acting majors plus voice and dance classes.
In order to compare MT programs, I'd suggest 1st looking at the curricula for the schools you are interested in. It is very instructive to see exactly what you will study in each program. Ask yourself what your own strengths and weaknesses are. Do you want a program that plays to your strengths or one that will help you improve in your weak areas? Of course, all MT programs should help you to improve your weak areas, but I think that some , because of their particular emphasis, may be more helpful than others. For example, if you feel that your singing is your strongest area, do you want to attend a school that offers a BM in MT, which will emphasize music more than acting, or do you want to attend a program that is strongly acting based (like CMU) to beef up your acting skills?
If you have specific questions about CMU, or any other program, there are many people who would be happy to answer. What do you really want to know?
I am going to step out on a limb and suggest that you investigate the MT programs at Florida State and the University of Miami. Both schools have excellent MT programs and, since you would be an in-state student, you could save a lot of money. |
