Music at Third Level

It wasn't me! · 2006-08-28 17:02:28

Okay, want to know from people who studied, where did you study? What standard would I have to be, both in theory and in practical terms, to be accepted? Where would I be able to do a course centred around contemporary music? I had DIT in mind, but they seem to have shifted to strictly classical and Irish traditional focus…

Where offers a contemporary course?

Most courses require a minimum of C3 in HL Music. and tbh, to get that mark you don't really have to be anything special.

As for a contemporary course? Haven't a clue! I'm goin to Maynooth in September and I know the course is very theory heavy, no practical until 2nd year I believe. And it's also focused on Classical and Irish music.

I guess you could call the courses in ballyfermot college "contemporary". www.bcfe.ie
