MMMM KKKK I also hold a bachelors and masters in Music and have been teaching quite a while. So basically what you are saying is that once you start music theory somewhere its impossible to transfer? What if you transfer from 4 year to another? I did this by the way and I was fine. Yes I had to work my way back to be able to pass a piano proficiency because I had been out of piano for a long time and I was not that great of a piano player to begin with, but I practiced and worked it out. ALSO my daughter has already decided where she is transferring to and they are accepting all her music classes. In Texas if you receive an Associates all of those credits must transfer. You clearly think you know and that is fine, but I am living it right now with my kid and your information is incorrect.

I am going to have to disagree.. Do your research... Have you heard of Tyler Junior College? Might wanna check that out. Last year my freshman child, who is an all-stater and a music major performed at State Marching Contest, and Midwest not to mention other wonderful experiences. My child is getting a VERY high quality music education. SO yeah... please do not put advice out there to unequivocally say one should NOT do something based on information that you do not have all of. While I do agree there are certainly community colleges out there who do not set students up for success in music education... I can also say the same for some 4 year universities. Better advice is to do your homework and research lots of schools, visit lots of schools, ask trusted people within your music circle, see what kind of scholarships are offered, sit in some rehearsals for the places you want to attend, and really find the place that fits YOU the best. Find out who is graduating from or transferring from these places and ask them about their experience both while there and after? A big part of college is what YOU make it of it. Once you find your place start networking with local directors, try to get some private lessons going or even tech at some local schools. While sitting in class and learning about diminished chords is important... there is more to music education than theory, music history etc.

Mineola is not marching 125 plus.. saw them at region.
