<p>Hello im kenaniah i would want to Major in Vocal performance but, i wanna play Football in college to. so really i just wanna goto a school with both</p>
<p>There are a number of fine, smaller institutions where this could be possible. One that I know of is [Shenandoah</a> University : Home](<a href=“http://www.su.edu/]Shenandoah”>http://www.su.edu/)</p>
<p>You may enjoy this article:</p>

<p>Heck, even Oberlin has a football team (though they were distinctly bad this past year). It might be easier to start with schools in which you are interested and then scoping down to those with football. You also need to be realistic as to whether you’ll get to play. For instance, Ohio State offers voice but unless you’re all-state I don’t think you’d make the team.</p>
<p>If you are serious about a performance major, I would urge you to spend some time in CC’s music major forum. I’d start with the post here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/258796-so-you-want-music-major-one-familys-experience.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/258796-so-you-want-music-major-one-familys-experience.html</a>. Audition driven, audition based admittance factors add a whole new dimension to the application process.</p>
<p>Without knowing any of your musical background and training, and academic info it is really a shotgun approach to even begin to suggest a list of potential options.</p>
<p>How competitive you will be as a football player also adds another dimension.</p>
<p>One more point, while it MAY be possible to do both (and Shenandoah might be a very viable option), it may not be advisable. At the BM degree path for performance, realize most ensemble and performing organizations will meet for rehearsal in the late afternoons. Performance commitments (degree obligations) are often at night and on weekends.</p>
<p>My son is a conservatory trained classical performer, my daughter was a DIII varsity soccer starter. I could not see how the two pursuits could be combined timewise. </p>
<p>In some BA performance variants, you might have a few less degree specific requirements, allowing you a bit more flexibility.</p>
<p>You will also have issues where your private vocal instructor(s) an your athletic coaches may well be at loggerheads, as each will see the other pursuit as counterproductive, or showing a lack of dedication.</p>
<p>There will be options, but far fewer for both. And these may not be beneficial for your end result.</p>
<p>If you are coming from a position of mid to high level music experiences and training, there are other options, best addressed in the music forum where those with professional and educational experience in the field can best advise you. Physical maturity with vocal development takes far longer than it does for an instrumental pursuit. The right program can be a bit less time intensive, yet still give you solid footing for a good MM program after undergrad.</p>
<p>Some smaller programs with solid music departments may afford you the opportunity for both instruction and participatory music experiences than the huge programs. You will have a lot of background research for both aspects, and you will need open and early communication both from an athletic and music perspective.</p>
<p>gadad, that’s a great article. My issue would stem from that many would see it as being eminently possible virtually anywhere. What is left unsaid is the structure and nature of Harvard’s music program, which is NOT a performance centered pursuit, but rooted in the music academics of theory, history, composition and musicology. There ARE no Harvard applied performance faulty. Individual applied instrumental or vocal instruction is through arrangements between the student and a private instuctor. The BA nature of the program (even for a music major at Harvard) means far fewer ensemble requirements.</p>
<p>The typical performance BM requires at least performance ensemble requirement per semester, and two or three are not unheard of. And these tend to be the largest time commitment other than personal practice and studio time.</p>
<p>And, unless I missed it, the article does not mention his major, which could well NOT be music.</p>
<p>The devil be in the details.</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>How good are you for football? Good enough to be a walk on for Div I? Good enough for Div III?</p>
<p>I’m wondering if the practices would conflict with performances and such.</p>
<p>^^^ Good point, Violadad. There is no vocal performance major at Harvard; Noah’s lessons were all off-campus, his performances all extracurricular, and his summer opera work unaffiliated with the university.</p>
<p>I’m good enough to walk on to a Div II if anything but Div III I don’t know I need work, there is always room for improvement</p>
<p>^^^^</p>
<p>Ok…so you’re not looking for a football scholarship, right?</p>
<p>Hmmmm…so, how much will your parents pay for your education each year? </p>
<p>What are your stats? </p>
<p>Those two things will largely influence where you can go.</p>
<p>What position do you play?</p>
<p>I play MLB FB, DE, and All special teams </p>
<p>40:4.9
bench(max.): 300lb
weight: 240lb </p>
<p>and i dont even know how much she is willing to play</p>
