Okay, so I'm looking to go into music next year, and complete a mixed Bachelor of Music/Education program so I can teach. University of Manitoba allows me to do this, and they have a pretty solid music program here. However, I don't really want to stay in Manitoba (and I don't think anyone can blame me for that). It's fairly likely that finances will keep me here, but I'm also seriously considering St. Francis Xavier (since their program focuses on jazz and they have a shortage of trumpet players). I'd like to keep my options open, though, and I don't know yet if St. FX offers that option. What's it like at your universities?

Western has a very solid music program, and there is indeed a teacher's college, but I can't comment on a concurrent B. Music / B. Education degree.

Apparently UVic is good... http://finearts.uvic.ca/

 

My uncle went there and got his Masters of Fine Arts or Music or whatever and he taught at a private school for years and years and years. And then he went onto teach at UVic

Western sounds like a good place, but I was looking through their site and it didn't look like they did many jazz studies, other than having a jazz ensemble.

 

UVic looks pretty good. I love Victoria, and Hugh Fraser directs their jazz ensemble. It's one I'll definitly keep in mind. Thanks for the help, guys.

I had a music teacher in high school who went to X. Brilliant head for music, and a fantastic teacher. My friends at X love it, there.

 

Plus you get one of the coolest rings ever made, when you graduate.

Class rings are ridiculously pretentious. Who actually wears them around?

Guys named Adam with the username ecnarf are pretentious. ;)

 

Lauren, what happened? I kind of saw it coming, you've been acting strange about that lately. I hope you're alright.

Everyone should just come to Nova Scotia. Maybe if there's a massive influx of students, our moronic tuition rates will lower ...

 

Plus, there's nary a better way to be taught to drink than by a Cape Bretoner (maaaybe a Newf) -- and isn't that what higher education is about: the hedonistic binge-wasting of money you don't even have?
