<p>I read the blog on “Opportunities for College Musicians” and it does appear that a student in the college who is a good, but not great, jazz musician could get into one of the jazz combos at the conservatory. So, I stand corrected on that. In addition, there is a music major at the college, known as “Musical Studies.” However, one of the requirements of the major is to participate in at least two of several listed music ensembles – which are audition-based and do not appear to encompass jazz groups. So, even to be a music major in the college, you must have achieved a fairly high level of proficiency on at least one instrument.</p>
