<p>It’s good that you are exploring options for MT. I observe that you are also asking elsewhere on CC about your plans to get a Masters in either wind conducting or music education and possibly a doctorate in music. And it is only natural for a freshman in college to be figuring out the direction they wish to take with their studies and their careers. But if you DO want to pursue graduate music degrees in conducting or teaching, put your energies into that, rather than training for MT in the next three years and summers. Once you figure out your direction, keep building your training, experience, internships, extracurriculars, summer plans and jobs around your goals.</p>
