How many music Majors do we have out there? Preformance or Teacher Education? I am not yet in college but I will be going for Tuba Preformance.

I'm not a music major, but I considered Tuba performance as well for a little while. I still play it in the Marching Band, if that means anything to ya. If I could start all over again I'd go back and do Music Education, but I'm too far along in my current major to even think about that.

i seriously considered going to a conservatory to study piano, but decided not to do it---i figured that it would be a way to come to hate what i really love doing--eventually i went to graduate school for history instead, only to find that for a while at least the same thing happened to the other thing i really love, which is reading. but that did not last too long---am back into it--i dont know if the same thing would have happened had i made a different choice training wise. i do know that i would not be playing anything like i play now, however. and from where i sit now, that seems like it would have been a really bad thing to have traded away so i could feel more legit....

this is an inconclusive post.
for me, conservatory is now a counterfactual, and so the post could not be otherwise.

I am a former music major, does that count?

I have degrees in Music Theory and Composition, and Teacher Education.

I'm in the same boat as roachboy. Been playing piano for about 15 years before I graduated high school, thought about studying but then realized it would make my outlet for release of stress the cause of stress in the first place. Ended up taking a couple percussion ensemble classes though, and while it wasn't for my degree, being musically involved at the college level is a fun challenge.

*shrug* technically at the moment I'm a vocal performance major (opera). Dunno how long that'll last though, we'll see. Performers are annoying

I wanted to be a music major, but decided I liked eating and having a place to live.....

So I became a lame business major with a music minor. 10 years later out of college, still playing the trumpet... My woman still calls me "band geek"
