<p>I was wondering if any could give some advice. My DS has been playing double bass for 7 years and is preparing for college auditions. He has done the All State thing, and is pretty sure he wants to major in Double Bass performance, but likes jazz and world music as well. His SATs and ACT were above average but not stellar and is GPA is C+/B- territory. He wants to have a chance to take classes in other disciplines (language, anthropology, sociology) so the straight conservatory route is not for him (also although he is serious about music and pretty good, he would not qualify for the top programs. I think Bard and Oberlin may be out due to the low GPA. don’t think he plays at the caliber for Indiana. He is pretty open about going anywhere but cost is an issue, so besides in-state we wonder if anyone can recommend schools with good double bass that are either affordable or have been known to give scholarships. Thanks.</p>
