RE: Not a music DOCTOR!!!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
TAFE or trade-hall is what you need for the practice of music
Well Youngest wants to do classical and the only TAFE in the metro area that does music is geared towards the kids who want to be rock stars.
at least he'll learn how to perform and record so there's that
And then having said that his violin teacher asked if his friend (who plays contemporary/pop) was able to play metal (apparently he can) and to jam with him if he did XD
I don't know how diary or personally explorative the "personal explorations" are but that does seem to be the kind of thing unis should be geared towards as much as rehashing/being familiar with old stuff.
Can understand your miff if it's pretty much a diary though.
when you said you couldn't remember the fancy name for it I jumped straight to "personal knowledge base" but surely nobody would submit one of those as an assessment piece
Maybe you need to correct your students and let them know you are a profess...ional XD
Lol... for the end one!
Yes... the TAFE/tradehall route is pretty much pooh-poohed out of existence by the classical people... sigh, that would have been the perfect fit... but apparently we need to feel like we are better by having a tertiary degree...
Youngest's teacher questioned his motivations for going to uni as he wants everything to be more accessible and less elitist so that works out for me. Youngest is 17 so sometimes he wants to be too elitist x_x he's got a bit more to grow out of it aaaahhh XD
Would have also been nice if our local TAFE had the music course but there's only one TAFE in the entire metro area that does it -_-
But we're going down the uni path because currently that's where the classical music is.
