Do You Want to Major in Music?

This volume is written by two collegiate music teacher educators who have met with numerous prospective music students and answered thousands of questions. They have seen students enter institutions as excited music majors only to be blindsided by the demands of the program of study. Throughout the book, the authors share advice collected from music majors, music education majors, current music teachers, and music teacher educators.
