<p>Thanks to Slovesviola, for stating what I wanted to state earlier.</p>
<p>We don’t know a lot of top instrumentalists who choose BoCo, when there are other excellent offers on the table. In the Boston area, BoCo is not considered a “top” school for instrumentalists. Yes, the school is well known for musical theater, dance, but not as much for classical music instruction, particularly with NEC, BU, Longy, Berklee around the corner.</p>
<p>Also, in terms of classical “gigs”, I wouldn’t be planning on funding a BoCo education with mythical gigs. Of course there are some opportunities for performance majors in Boston to make money, but there are LOADS and LOADS of superb instrumentalists, and I don’t think people are beating down the doors at BoCo, when there are the other fine music schools, as well as great musicians at Harvard and Tufts. Also, as we have discussed in the past, there are just not as many of those paid gigs as there used to be, even for professional musicians.</p>
<p>Just my two cents…:)</p>
