Hi, I just discovered that CC had a music major discussion, and I'm thrilled! I just finished the college search process with my D18, and am now searching ideas for my S16. He's a sophmore in High School, and he thinks he's interested in doing some sort of audio engineering / sound production / audio design... it's confusing as to what it's called at each college.
He also plays several instruments - but his main instrument is bass (upright and electric), and he wants to be able to play in college as well - loves jazz and rock/contemporary music. Does well with Classical as well, but it's not his favorite.
Does anyone have college recommendations for us to check out. We do know about Belmont. He's actually done 2 summer string camps there, which he enjoyed, and really loved the bass instructor there, but we need some more ideas where he could major in audio engineering and still have opportunities to play in a jazz band, rock band, and maybe orchestra. He would be willing to audition, and I would imagine he would do pretty well. He consistently makes Region and State orchestras and jazz bands in bass. I think he would want the audio production major to be housed within the music department.
Thanks for any input!
