all my life i have had a desire to be a proficient musician but for some reason it never really happened. i have some pretty basic musicianship skills, however i would consider myself a beginner in pretty much all the important ones, reading music, improvising, composing, ect. I joined a guitar ensemble in my community college which i enjoyed however I noticed that it took time away from my physics course and i got a C. so to answer your question i have most of my lower division coursework for Comp Eng. done, i have taken one music theory class, and a few basic instrument classes (class piano, class guitar) and one ensemble class (guitar ensemble. my choice right now that i am having trouble with is between UC Irvine which is a very good school that is offering me a lot of money to go there but has no music minor, or Cal State Long Beach, also a good school but not as good as UCI, and probably won’t offer me near has much money to go there as UCI will, however they have a music minor program. I really want to go to UCI because they will pay for me to live on campus, but i really want to progress musically which i can do at Long Beach with their music minor. I’m just torn.
