I’m concerned about next year, when he’s going to be doing nothing but music, and his few academic courses are likely to be easy for him.



Doing “nothing but music” will keep him plentifully busy. Music majors in college have tons of one credit courses that require hours of class time and preparation. Plus he will have his own practice schedule to do. He’ll be very busy.

DS went to BU and got a BM in performance. Boston University has a rigorous core course requirement that he had to fulfill. Does Indiana have a core course requirement for its music majors? Many universities do.

I will say, our son was always busy and sufficiently “challenged” during his BM program. He often wished for more hours in the day.
