| IU MT curriculum
it seemed quite a few people were confused as to iu's curriculum for the mt bfa, so i thought i would clear things up; i was recently accepted into the program (though still am deciding between iu and two other schools) and visited there yesterday, so i've got the low down!
--starting first semester freshman year, private voice lesson are provided. this is actually different than schools like tisch and penn, where private voice doesnt begin until second semester. the voice teacher is classicaly trained, with a masters degree from iu's amazing opera program., but, of course, knows mt.
--dance will be offered through the dance school's elective program, which is for all non-majors, taught by masters students, and was very impressive--ballet is offered four days a week for EACH level, along with jazz and modern. the advanced class included pointe.
--acting courses are the exact same as those taken by the straight acting majors.
--academics are quite a strong foundation (icluding math, science, etc.), though still only take up 20 or so percent of the major; mt classes alone are 134 credits.
i hope this helps!!! |
