<p>I have to say…musicians need to be good writers also. They have to have the ability to write (things like their resumes, program notes, bios, etc). I’m not sure I would advocate for a program that completely ignores this facet of instruction. Even music theory, music history, and composition require a certain level of writing competence. Most stand alone conservatories focus on the music end of the studies, but they usually do have some kind of humanities course requirements in order to award a Bachelors degree.</p>
