Does Wales count?  If so try the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.\n\nAlso the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London, and if you're including Scotland the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.  Rada's supposed to be good as well.

I would imagine most papers would want to see a music degree or two on your resume.  One of my classmates in college wanted to be a classical music critic.  She got a bachelors in music and a bachelors in english.  She now works at a paper as an editor.  I'm not sure if she is writing the classical columns yet or not...\n\nAlso, many of the major critics are well respected authors and musiclogists, and even composers.  You'd probably be well served to contact your local paper's music critic and see how they got started. \n\nI couldn't find many homepages for critics, but here's one to see what credentials he has.\nhttp://www.kylegann.com/

Depends on the school.  I took shop, sewing, cooking, art, algebra, etc.  My sister took music, choir, band, etc.  We are so different!  Some other kids took drama, speech, wrestling, etc.  Take the courses that interest you the most.

I would take a wide variety of courses...sciences, maths, history, geography, languages.  That way you will have all of your bases covered.

Music theory can be a complicated sounding subject, and a good college instructor would help explain it better, but the second best place to learn would be instruments. Get classically trained on strings (especially piano and guitar), brass (probably tuba or sousaphone, and trumpet), woodwind (best to hit high and low, try flute and bari sax), and percussion (set, but also symphonic) and you'll have a solid grasp of the whole.

Go to a school which offers a B.F.A. in directing.  That's a Bachelor's of Fine Arts and it's very different from a B.A.  You'll get more hands-on-experience with a BFA.  FSU is a pretty good school to look at.  Start reading books now about making movies and making it in Hollywood.  Skills: determination!

Although the music and art would SEEM easier, they are truly deep in study. I say go with film or child deveopment. If you take film, you will probably never see a movie in the same way again. IMO~ good luck!

There are quite a few schools that offer this.. specs howard.... I went to columbia school of broadcasting.. I'd suggest he'd go to a four year university and get his journalism degree, with a minor in radio-tv.  That way he has a better chance of getting somewhere

Get a degree in fine arts.

Education is the key. You can gain access to alot of the music biz through different schools of the arts. If you don't want to go that route, try and look for interships at music labels. Or you can try to get internships at local radio stations, music labels and recording studios.

What Can You Do With a Music Degree?\nIt is not unusual for parents to encourage their children to take up a musical instrument--to become a member of the church choir, the school band, or a youth orchestra. The benefits are many--individual growth and discipline, learning to work with others, general familiarity with musical arts and cultures. Often, when a youngster starts showing talent, the family responds by investing a significant amount of time, energy, and money in lessons, transportation, music, and instruments. There can be strong family pride in the results.\n\nThen, somewhere along the line, the young musician begins to realize that music performance has become the primary focus of his or her life. The subject of going to a music school comes up, and one of two things happens: Either the family is immediately supportive, or there is a period of adjustment while the parents figure out what such a choice might mean for their children's future (and for their own). After all, what is going to happen if their young musician graduates, and can't make a living as a performer? \n\nParents (and students too) worry about these things. So, in this essay, we are going to dig into the issue of the practicality of a Bachelor of Music degree. There are two perspectives to consider. The first is an explanation of the nature of the degree, and how it compares with other types of undergraduate degrees in the job market. The second is a deeper look at the issue, highlighting the elements which give students pursuing a music degree a head start along life's journey.\n\nPart 1: Jobs, and The Degree\nPeabody students receive a bachelor's degree. Each year, thousands of young people graduate from colleges with bachelor's degrees. The assumption is that those holding such a degree are now educated enough to qualify for a better job, or to enter further academic training at the master's level. This is true, even if they majored in art history, philosophy, or (heaven help us) 18th century British Literature. The same parents who might be concerned about their kids getting a job with a music degree seem less worried about the number of available jobs for art historians. And, as we all know, the newspapers hardly ever list a job opening for a philosopher. (One assumes 18th cent. Brit. lit. majors will seek jobs as college professors, which--of course--requires another four or five years of schooling for a doctorate.)\n\nStill, these are worthy areas of study--if not for the daily practicality of the body of knowledge one gains, but for the maturity, dedication and focus required in the process of doing so. \n\nA Bachelor of Music degree is no different. Those who have earned the degree are able to apply for any job (music or otherwise) requiring a bachelor's degree. They are also qualified to apply for entrance to a master's program (in music or in another field). The difference is this: Those holding music degrees have the best background to work in the field--be it performance, teaching, or anything related to the industry. And this particular Bachelor's degree carries with it the double value of the Peabody Conservatory, and The Johns Hopkins University. In other words, for a young musician looking to the future, a bachelor of music degree does not close doors.\n\nIt opens them.
