It’s tough enough to be a working musician without having to endure continually rising prices of sheet music and musical instruments. Let’s not even talk about the ridiculously inflated price of a college education! We were shocked to learn that one of our competitors is raising their prices almost 20%! OUCH.

Music is a serious profession and a “fast-track” major because you start required coursework in your first semester of college. During your senior year of high school (and earlier), focus on your grades and your audition for college. With a little planning and preparation during your high school career, you...
