<p>Thanks for the advice spiritmanger, I’ll keep that in mind.</p>
<p>compmom I actually decided a BM would be best for me because of that article on Peabody’s site. I neither think or want a BM to be easier; I marched two years of drum corps and I find that i thrive with intense work and love the academic aspect of music. I’ll look into those books and colleges you suggested and I have no problem with state universities. One of my top schools is USF because of the composition faculty, the quality performers and the in state tuition. Thanks again.</p>
<p>P.S. I actually would benefit from a school that take test scores into higher account because I test really well, and my grades are average.</p>
