Studying Music Education (completion in 1979)
• 4/29/2011
"I got a great education. Socially I was very lonely."
Ratings are on a 1-10 scale
| Characteristic | Rating | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Would Recommend? | maybe | It would depend on the temperament of the person. I would not recommend music school to anyone that was overly insecure or immature. |
| Program Reputation | 8 | The programs at Hartt have expanded significantly since I attended. You can now major in music technology, the business of music, dance, musical theatre, etc. |
| Program Quality | 10 | Hartt College gave me an excellent education and I feel that they prepared me very well for a career in music education. I was surrounded by very talented and competent musicians for four years. |
| Instruction | More than 5 years ago | |
| How Difficult | 10 | Music Education requires you to carry over 20 credits per semester. In addition to course work, 20-30 hours of practice a week are expected. |
| Hands-On vs. Bookish | This was performing arts. It was ALL hands on - with a little book learning! | |
| Schedule Flexibility | 5 | I have been away from Hartt for a number of years. I know that they offer evening, weekend and summer classes and have a large community division. |
| Academic Facilities | 10 | All of the facilities have been upgraded since I attended. There is a wonderful performing arts auditorium that is state of the art. |
| Social Life | 2 | Music students are odd. I did not fit in socially and took no advantage of social offerings that went on outside of the music school. |
| Placement Services | 5 | I have never had to take advantage of the school's placement services. I have heard that they are extensive. |
| Alumni Network | 5 | I have never taken advantage of the alumni outreach. I know that it is extensive because I still receive print and digital media concerning it 30 years later! |
