More Careers Stuff: Schools

There are a bunch of schools that hover in the back of my brain. I'm still not entirely sure of any of them. Of course, I'm thinking of music here.

1. U of T. Uber competitive, uber huge, uber mean. My piano teacher says that if you go into the practice areas while people are practicing there, you'll hear one person start playing a Beethoven Sonata, then the next practice room over you'll hear someone else start to play it faster, and then in another practice room someone will play it faster. U of T breaks more musicians than it makes them. That's why the nickname is "factory of music" instead of The faculty.

I've heard of the prestigious violin program at Julliard. I haven't really looked into it. I would assume it's also uber competitive.

One place that has been hovering in the back of my mind for awhile is Hillsong University in Australia. It has a Praise and Worship program. I'd love to go there if I took a one year program or something. But would I be able to do four years away from home?
