Madii - first, welcome! Good for you for beginning to think about college early.

As far as your schedule, the most important thing you can do is make sure you are taking whatever classes your high school requires to meet graduation requirements. That is different from school board to school board, so we can't advise you about that! (My D can only take 6 courses per year, and study hall was never an option!)

Secondly, once you have an idea of a college or two you'd like to consider, check their website for their "recommended" high school courses. Most colleges are looking for, for example, 4 years of English, 4 years of math, 3 years of science, 3 years of social studies, 2 or 3 years of foreign language, and so on.

Since you are thinking of music ed right now, both your grades and your audition will be important. There are a few threads on this forum that discuss music education. You can search for them by clicking on the search function at the top of this page. (If you do an advanced search, you can limit the search to the music forum.)
