[Music4_Him]

I'm not from Australia, but have been completly enthralled with the country since as long as I can remember. I'm really interested in going there for college, I plan to major in music...but i have no idea where to begin looking. .: lost :. I'm not picky. I'd love to look into any school in any area. Any suggestions would be well appreciated.

I'm guessing you mean after you finish school? You could try the conservatorium of music which is part of the university of sydney. I dont think I'm allowed to post links but if you pm me I can give you some more details

not to get this off topic, but my cousin just went over to Carlifornia to study music.... so there must be quite a famous music school there. (forgotten the name)

i think you need to decide what area of music do you want to study - performance (and decide on an instrument) , classroom music, instrumental pedagodgy, music technology, musicology, compostition, conducting, contemporary music, jazz etc etc

in Brisbane, Queensland there is:
Qld conservatorium of music - griffith uni
The university of qld
queensland university of technology (they specialise more in contemporary music and music education)

and smaller universitys in regional qld such as USQ - uni of southern qld, james cook university have music degrees as well

That music conservatorium are filled with (worldly-recognised)gifted people...

They're the sort of people(#Coff Coff#Freaks#Coff Coff#...lol...kiddin...I'm just jealous) that either finished their HSC in yr 6 or they didn't do any study in yr12 yet still got a 100.00 in their UAI, and they're doing music because they know they can succeed in anything...and one day end up earning heaps of money as a CEO or as a Chancellor of some highgrade university.

Some of them go to the Anglican church, and they're very nice and bright but I don't hang around them...but they are very intelligent people....#CoffCoff#FREAKS#CoffCoff#

Come to WA!!! The University of Western Australia is a well known university with a great reputation throughout the world. It also has a great music program. I used to walk past the room where they all practiced and it sounded amazing! They had all sorts of concerts and things

Speaking of music, even though I picked up the dizi several years back and self taught the sounds and techniques based on chinese music...

But I personally don't like it, when people say...Oh I like all that cultural stuff....

It's almost like an insult, to say that the dizi or any other chinese musical instrument is not a serious and complex instrument.

For anyone who has heard a dizi, they either like it or they don't...just like a violin, some people like it, others don't...they both have a scretching noise and both are hard and specialised instruments.

If you ask serious musicians, whom have understood the true nature of Chinese instruments, they could argue that if you play the dizi, you can never play the european flute properley nor professionally again.

But there are some muso's that think the dizi is just another of those cultural music just to relax upon.....GRRRR

Thanks for putting the link up Icystwolf

I haven't been to the Con myself so I dont know what all the people are like - although I do know a couple of people that go there and heaps who go to Sydney uni - like anywhere, some are annoying but heaps of them are really nice!
