I am going to write about the frustrtations that come along with being a music education major. First off, the private teachers in the college of musical arts expect you to practice as if you are a performance major. They tell you to practice two hours every single day, who has that much spare time every single day of the week to practice? When being a muisc major, you are required to go through what they call ‘juries’. You have to play in front of the music staff twice a semester and get critqued and judged on your playing ability, who wants to go through that? They require you to go to studio class every week when you never scheduled a class for that, and the timings for it are random so you have to schedule your day around it. You are required to take a recital attendence class, where you are forced to go to 15 recitals a semester, keep in mind these rectials are around two hours long, which means thats about 30 hours out of class time you are required to go to. These are just a few of the frustrations a music major faces sometimes.
