Our HS senior has been accepted at Bard College. S/he did not apply to the Bard Conservatory because the Conservatory is exclusively for classical study, and they wish to study other musical forms and composition. When we visited, we saw that the Bard Music Department and the Bard Conservatory of Music are distinct separate entities, even though they share some faculty and facilities. Our concern however, is that the Conservatory (classical) program gets more resources/attention than the Music Department. Can anyone speak to this difference? The Conservatory seems to have it own fundraising for example. Does the Bard Conservatory pull rank over it's sibling Music Department?
Our kid faces a very difficult position because they have also been accepted to Oberlin Music Conservatory TIMARA program, with scholarship. Any thoughts, advice, insights much appreciated.
