<p>Hi guys
Please help me clear up the way I do next …
Conservatory that are in America, and these features got me introduce:
- Drums (percussion instruments) in the better they are taught.
- And tends to the modern musical.</p>
<p>If you are interested in an academic degree, in addition to a degree in percussion performance, check out Bard College Conservatory. So Percussion is starting a new percussion program at the conservatory this fall 2011. Bard also extends financial and merit aid to international students.</p>
<p>I just do not care about my degree …
I want the highest level of education you have drums on the side but not much time I spend</p>
<p>The reason I asked is that at Bard it is a requirement to pursue two separate degrees - one in the conservatory and one in the college. You would need to be admitted both to the college and to the conservatory. As I’m guessing English is a second language for you, I cannot tell if pursuing an academic course of study in English would be a problem.</p>
<p>I’m teaching English classes …
Ask for review of the funding to do what is best Conservatory?</p>
<p>I do not wish to disparage your command of the English language; it is likely at least a thousandfold improvement over my knowledge of your native tongue. I would like to suggest that, while your vocabulary is sound, your sentence structure and the odd grammatical miscue are quite enough to cause misunderstandings by those for whom English is a first and very possibly only language.</p>
<p>As I understand your request, you would like to find the best possible teacher for percussion instruments, including drum kit, that are used in popular contemporary music. You are not particularly interested in classical music or percussion instruments that are used almost exclusively in classical music. You are not concerned with an academic degree but you are interested in a Conservatory setting where nearly all of your time will be spent in learning about musical performance. Did I get that right, or did I not understand what you intended?</p>
<p>I am not quite certain what you are trying to convey with your last sentence of message 5. I might take it to mean that you wish to use the amount of funding a Conservatory receives as being indicative of its quality. I might also take it to mean that you will require financial aid in order to be able to attend one of the best schools. Is it one of these, or something else completely? The more we understand what you are looking for, the better we will be able to answer your questions.</p>
<p>I think mamadgonzo may have intended to say “I’m taking [or learning] English [classes].”</p>
<p>tanks all for your answer
You know …
I am looking for a conservatory that instruct the terms of the instrument is good drums and financial assistance (financial aid) offered to give me good …</p>
<p>mamadgonzo - </p>
<p>What is your native language? Perhaps someone here can help you put your questions more clearly. To be honest, I think your English is going to be an issue for most conservatory entrances. I know a number of people (whose English is really quite good), who have been accepted to Juilliard and MSM on audition results, but unable to attend because of their TOEFL scores. You should make sure that you’re enrolled in a TOEFL course asap.</p>
<p>As for choosing a school, a few ideas: write a list of the players you admire that teach. Look into those schools first, and see where that takes you. Also, check the bios of up and coming young percussionists and see where they studied and who their teachers were.</p>
<p>Financial aid at conservatories usually depends on a mixture of need and audition results, but if you are an international student that might play into things as well depending on the institution.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I’m Iranian.
In this forum you know someone who is Iranian?</p>
<p>Actually, my brother speaks pretty good Persian, but knows nothing about music admissions unfortunately!</p>
<p>Are you enrolled in a TOEFL course?</p>
<p>Really good luck with everything!</p>
<p>I currently am a soldier involved in the issue …
The military problem solving will also be Amtahn TOEFL …</p>
<p>Last question:
For admission to Berkeley or any other Conservatory age 22 is appropriate?</p>
<p>Age shouldn’t be an issue.</p>
<p>Do you mean you’re working with the American military? And they are helping you study for your TOEFL? Sounds like you have an interesting story!</p>
<p>No …
Military service in Iran … All you need to do this so they can give out of Iran to become</p>
<p>Hi guys …
I’m back again …
My question is this:
5 Conservatory of Music America, respectively, the worse the better your rankings.
This category is for the Conservatoire know what order is more suitable for my degree.</p>
<p>Meanwhile I want is a drummer in modern jazz and do the work.
Anyone who considered himself rankings say.</p>
<p>(studying drums in modern and jazz styles)</p>
<p>Here are some schools with modern or jazz drumming majors that have been known to give a fair amount of aid to international students. I cannot rank the list, because that depends a lot on you personally and how good a match the teacher would be.</p>
<p>Lawrence University - Dane Richeson
New York University - Memo Acevedo, Billy Drummond, Tony Moreno, Dafnis Prieto
Northwestern University - Willie Jones III
Oberlin Conservatory - Billy Hart
Ohio State University - Jim Rupp
Saint Olaf College - David Hagedorn, Phil Hey
University of Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music - Art Gore, John Von Ohlen
University of Miami - Richard E. Bravo, John M. Yarling
University of Southern California - Ndugu Chancler, Peter Erskine, Jacob Reed, Aaron Serfaty</p>
<p>wow!!</p>
<p>thank you</p>
<p>It is very interesting that your list is not in Berkeley College
Why is not suitable for Berkeley?</p>
<p>Berklee certainly has the instruction you want, but I could not find out whether they give international students much financial aid. I believe you have to audition live there in order to be considered for their large awards.</p>
<p>The University of California, Berkeley has BA programs in composition and musicology, but no modern or jazz programs in performance that I know of.</p>
<p>Thank you really.
Many of these names were said to that list I’ve seen somewhere.
I think the view looks better Oberlin.
You think in terms of quality which are better than Oberlin?</p>
<p>My information is the quality level of the Conservatory not only in terms of place and they examined gave scholarships.</p>
<p>In terms of top quality are there?</p>
<p>All of those schools have highly respected music programs and the competition for places there will be tough. It is impossible for me to say which of them would be better for you. There are going to be positive and negative aspects to each of the schools on that list, so it is a matter of deciding which positive things you need and which negative things you are willing to live with.</p>
<p>Oberlin is certainly worth considering. Billy Hart is well known in the Jazz world and I have heard that he is an excellent teacher. Oberlin opened a new building for their Jazz program about a year ago and the facilities are excellent. They have a tremendous collection of recordings and memorabilia. They treat international students just as well as domestic students when it comes to financial aid, although they may require more paperwork from international students to determine the amount of financial aid they would need to attend. One drawback there is that it is not anywhere close to a city with a major professional Jazz scene. At a school in or near a large city such as NYU, USC or Northwestern you could go to clubs or concerts to hear top groups practically any night of the week. At schools in smaller towns like Oberlin, Lawrence and Saint Olaf, you would mostly be limited to whatever guest artists the school brings in.</p>
