[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Music education can be very competitive, as they will be competing with performance majors during most auditions. If they want to have an easier time getting in they should learn a more obscure instrument that won’t have as much competition. [/quote]

No, he won’t.  Music Ed majors and performance majors have separate admission requirements.   They often take classes together and play in ensembles together, but the auditions are judged differently because of course they are.

I am not aware of any music ed programs without an audition, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t safety schools out there.  [/quote]

The issue you have is that a professor will only accept a limited number of students each year. They will accept performance, general music, and education majors. Yes the requirements are different and technical expectations might be higher for performance than education or general music but the number of spots is finite. They are all competing for the same spots. The number of spots open will depend on how many are already in the program.[/quote]
