As a violinist, what would be a great music college to attend when I get older?

Julliard is your best bet right now, if you are thinking about the best and most rewarding experience that you can obtain locally. Use these years to tweak and hone your skills. Equal focus must be placed on the technical as well as the creative, artistic side. The latter will help to display your style and consequent uniqueness which can set you apart from the rest of the applicants.\n\nThinking along a wider spectra. Might I recommend University of Leeds: School of Music. This quaint English university not only allows you to compete with the best in your country but the creme de la creme of the world. \n\nYou being on the other side of the world and closer to the European territory will be immersed in a plethora of musical talent. It was in this region that the very violin you played originated and the myriad of techniques tried and proven to be worthy of the musical community. \n\nThe European territory was where the legendary musicians where birthed and what an experience it would be to follow their very paths which to them to renowned heights!

Julliard is over rated. My honest suggestion is if you are interested in opera, head to the west coast. There are some good schools (USC, CSULB, and Chapman) that have good undergraduate programs (although USC is more grad based) in any case make sure that the program you are looking at has not only a good teacher for you but also opportunities for undergraduate performance in opera. If you are never going to get on stage in an opera...what's the point of going to that school to study opera? Oh and Cincinatti school of music is good too...but again...graduate centered opera. (don't go to a choral school...go to an opera school)

Any Ivy League School will be great. Undergrad at SMU or Yale and Grad at Harvard, Yale, or Columbia will give you the best in what you want.

University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh\nSmall teaching college, inexpensive, close to home, good teachers\nDominican University for second Masters\nVery cool building of stone and ivy--looks like it belongs in a gothic movie.

first thing to is to go for vaccation classes. \neg : if you want to become a animator the go to masya or cd amx courses.\nor if you want to become a musician the go and study some instruments. \n\nyou should utilize and give some time for you aim in life because its more important.\n\nand when you get free time from your courses ,just enjoy with friends like go for a movie or stay at friends house or do what you like.\n\nalthught its your vaccation. you are the one who shoud decide upon your taste. i just gave you some points. so anyway happy holidays.

Yes!  Take a look at the following site and listen to the examples through the ages.  You'll need Real player.  Every 50 years or so there are some pretty major developments... harmony, new instruments, the concerto, the symphony, opera, sanatas, rondo form, minimalism, serialism, oratorios, symphonic poems, etc...  When you REALLY get into it, you'll find classical music an amazing journey.  It's very diverse and continues to change and add new sounds and ideas.  Ex. I'm hearing a lot of classic rock style in chamber music latley.  That seems to be one popular "thing" for classical composers now.  Listen to Michael Daugherty and Elvis Schoenberg (Ross Wright) for eaxmaples of this.  Enjoy!\n\nhttp://www.ipl.org/div/mushist/

Considering you already listed Schoenberg and Webern, you might want to check out Alban Berg, the other big figure in the "Second Viennese School."  For after WWII, Boulez, Stockhausen, Claude Vivier, Messiaen, Varese, Stephan Wolpe.  If you're interested in American composers, I'd suggest Charles Ives (the granddaddy of American experimentalism), Conlon Nancarrow (an ex-pat in Mexico City who does wonders with player pianos), Milton Babbitt, Frank Zappa's classical oeuvre (such as "The Yellow Shark" or "Jazz From Hell").  This should be a start.  Also, check out your local university composition department; many often take part in performances of new music and contemporary classics.  Hope this helps!

Being from New England, I only know schools around here, but I'd suggest Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Bennington College (Bennington, VT), Simon's Rock College of Bard (Great Barrington, MA), or Emerson College (Boston, MA). I have friends at Bard and Emerson who love them. I think they all offer other areas of study, but I'm not sure if there are core requirements that would discourage you.

I would go for cello! There are many GREAT violinists but with the void left by jaqueline dupres, who will be the next great celloist????

Check around UTA. I'm sure there are a lot of student musicians there who wouldn't mind making a few bucks on the side teaching somebody how to play.\n\nI know there are plenty at North Texas who will teach.\n\nBut just remember - there are very few things in life that can be all three "Good. Fast. and Cheap." You may have to compromise on that somewhere. And for "Fast" ... it all depends on how "Fast" you can learn.

USF in North Tanpa is your best bet in education for Fine Arts, actually in all of Florida I would say

The music and history might help you with a teaching degree (for electives) but you will still have to take alot of education classes (ed psych, child development, etc.).  I'd recommend speaking with a college advisor as they would be able to give you more options once they see the specific classes you have taken.

I play the viola, and I'm pretty good.  I'm the principal violist for my youth orchestra and county orchestra, and I am ranked first in the Eastern district of my state among high school violists.

given that you have played the violin for five years you can already think at the grade 5 level presumably. if you take 2-3 three hours of practice everyday you can get to grade 8 in about 3-4 years. i would suggest you do grade 2 the first year, grade five the next, and in the next two years do grade 8, this way it will be comfortable for you and you shall learn well.
