<p>This highlights what I was saying. Even AT stand alone conservatories, there are writing requirements for some of the courses. I don’t believe it’s realistic for a musician to think they will earn a BMA without having SOME courses that have an “academic” component…and it’s usually writing.</p>
<p>The OP made it sound like the daughter wanted to do music playing…and related coursework only. My point was that the related coursework includes competency in writing.</p>
<p>FYI…DS studied at the Royal College of Music in London for a term his junior year. They also had the same kinds of requirements as the stand alone conservatories here…including music history, theory, etc. AND DS DID have to write.</p>
