To quote from the MG boards,

Sounds like you already have your minor planned out: poverty.

 

That's not to say I look down on music majors. If it's something you love, then by all means do it. It just won't be easy though. I'd suggest minoring in whatever your next favorite thing is.

Education. Actually you should probably major in Education and Miner in Music, or better yet dual major in Education AND Music.

 

That is ofcourse !@#$%^&*uming you have talent, and I mean a LOT of talent. Not "you were the best musician in your high school" talent but "You are one of the best musicians in the whole region you live in" type of talent. Don't think you can work your way through it with practice either. College is tough. Those will natural talent towards the activity have to work through it, and those without will find the workload impossible.

 

Most countries in the world divide all majors into two catagories: Humanities and Sciences. Judging by the fact that you chose a humanity and a very pure humanity at that, I doubt you have interest or proficiency in the sciences. However, you shouldn't choose a major. Instead, choose a job, and then choose a major that puts you towards that job. A major in Music doesn't open up many opportunities other than education. If you wish to become a pop star, then note that most pop stars do not get music majors, atleast until their careers are actually rolling. If that's what you want, I suggest minoring in music and majoring in something else. If you wish to become a professor or symphony musician, keep in mind that you must be REALLY good. Odds are with a Music major you'll end up teaching music at a High School, which is why I suggest Education as a second major.

 

However, this isn't the sort of question that you should be asking idiots over the internet. The college you go to most likely has an academic planning service, which you should exploit to the point of annoying the people who work there. Even if you choose the right major, odds are that you will choose the wrong courses, so get some help BEFORE you make mistakes.

yea i'd go with business, media or journalism. Ever thought of being a music journalist? It'd bring in a little money, and it'd be in the area you love. But yea, only do music if you want to be in an orchestra, they might value the qualification. If you're in a band then just learn it yourself, being unique is more important. Edited by SeVeR

I suppose I have a lot of talent.. I tried out for the DCI Bluecoats in Texas last November. I was going up against actual music majors, and people who have already graduated. I got a 3, and I needed a 2 to move on, so I have what it takes to be good. I'm only 15.

 

I dunno.. I'm also a good writer.. AP English and such.. maybe music journalism isn't a bad idea!

I'm planning on majoring in creative writing once I get my transfer degree from the community college I go to. I'm not sure what college in Oregon I'm heading to yet. B)

I think maths may go well with music on the more scientific side.

 

I guess you would want something that goes well with music then something unrelated.

 

We have a different system here, we do one main subject and that it, you can take unrelated units to have a major and minor subject but people rarely do.
