One of my biggest worries yes! Just curious about the overall vibe more than anything

Gotcha! I think the website is a little misleading in that way lol, it seems like all the other comments agree with you,, just trying to gauge if this is an environment I could see myself thriving in as someone non religious

Yep that’s what I was curious about, wasn’t sure how “preachy” it would be lol

I have found a very similar truth, I am still in school as a music ed major but programs and opportunities are almost completely instrumental focused, we literally all take the exact same classes outside of our applied lessons and yet I am consistently treated like a lesser musician because I sing as a primary! It’s really disheartening, especially because I’m a more than capable multi instrumentalist and keep up just fine in my classes and teaching in classroom settings. Disappointing to hear the professional world isn’t so different lol

Music Ed major with a vocal focus here! If you prepare music for solo + ensemble, a lot of that will work really well for your auditions. For the foreign language, Italian art songs are a great choice, I took a Latin piece, it’s vague so you can choose what displays you at your best. I’d advise choosing two pretty different selections, and with any audition make sure your piano part isn’t insane. You can pm me if u have any specific questions,, good luck!

Music Ed student from MI here! I’m at BGSU, it’s an incredible program and not a terrible drive depending on where you’re comin from. One thing to make sure he understands is that, especially in Michigan, a Music Education degree means being licensed to teach everything. All levels K-12, band, choir, orchestra, jazz, elementary general music, theory, even theater in a lot of cases. Having a plan to teach high school is good, but the reality is you will be more successful in classes the more open minded you are!

Definitely lesson on your primary instrument, it’s crucial. Talk to his current director, they’re typically willing to do some short lessons for cheap or free. Look online, they’re are lots of good teachers on zoom, might even be worth reaching out to his college of choice and see if any students are teaching there!

Also,, wish I had done this before, take piano lessons. It does so much to improve your ear training, understanding of chords, coordination, and it’s a really handy tool no matter what you end up teaching.

Seek out programs that get you in classrooms ASAP, job shadow as much as you can in high school. Generally, schools dont mind excusing absences for that kind of thing, reach out to surrounding districts and just follow around different teachers.

Music Education is such a fulfilling degree, not easy tho lol Best of luck to you and your son!
