<p>Are you planning to return for a BM in vocal performance? A 2nd bachelors can be at times problematic in both the admission and financial aid process. The “other courses” are music theory, history, aural skills/solfege, diction, languages, etc. Going for a 2nd bachelors will cover these things, but returning to college for a graduate degree may pose some problems in that you may be admitted to an MM degree based on your audition, but you would need to take several undergraduate courses in various subjects to bring yourself up to speed, adding another year+ to the degree. </p>
<p>With voice it is done, and done often enough for you to not feel entirely out of place. This fall we have a former actor joining us. She earned a BA in theatre from McGill, and worked in a professional Canadian troupe for a while. One of her roles required her to sing, and she discovered she had a voice, returned to McGill for a BM in voice, and is now going to earn an MM in voice from us. </p>
<p>What is your plan to prepare for a competitive audition, singing taxing arias from memory in several languages? What was/is your background in singing to begin with?</p>
