[quote=Anonymous]I was a bassoon major in college (until I figured out I needed to learn a skill so I could eat). I assume dc does not plan to major in music. If dc is looking to go into a school and will not major in music, and that school has a big music program (IU,UofM, Oberlin, UT etc), then playing bassoon will not be a hook- they have plenty of bassoon majors to fill their performing groups. But if its a school that has an orchestra and a small music program (or no music program) then playing the bassoon will be a hook, because they will need bassoonists to fill out the ensembles. Its hard for me to believe that an admissions office would know about this special need, but you never know. And tell your dc to keep playing. After college there are many fine groups that always needs bassoonists, so there will be plenty of opportunities to play.[/quote]
