<p>Cal State Northridge has a very good Music Industry program in the LA area. It requires passing an audition and interview and continues to require performance and music theory while learning the recording business. 2 years of private lessons are included. The internship placements are in the music business and studios in the area.
Son #1 auditioned and was not accepted in the first try with an acceptance rate of 30 out of 80. (He was just recovering from the flu and may have impacted his interview - they said he passed the audition). Second try made it with acceptance rate of 15 accepted out of 50 for spring semester. So far he loves the courses and program.</p>
