post for aarie

hey guys this post is for aarie because my last post was getting really long (post for everyone is the last post!) and this is just about music at ubc. anyone can read, but even i think it's not that interesting of a read and i'm writing it! :(

so yeah aarie, when i told dan you were applying to music, he was like, why doesn't he (as in you) apply for arts as a second? just in case? i don't know if you're interested, but i looked it up on SSC for you (just in case you don't know your resources yet... not saying that you don't/can't find it on your own... just trying to help!) and you can get a BA with a music major or if you want to study something other than music, you can get a music honours or minor, too.

what's the diffy between BA in Music and BMusic? here you go!

B.A. in Music versus the Bachelor of Music (BMUS):

• The B.A. in Music is a four-year curriculum offered in the Faculty of Arts for students not intending to pursue music performance professionally or who do not meet the special admission requirements for the School of Music's Bachelor of Music degree. The Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree with a Major, Minor, or Honours in Music includes core music courses similar to the Bachelor of Music degree, but does not include private instrumental or vocal instruction though all UBC students are eligible to audition for student ensembles.

it says all ubc students are eligible to audition for the ensembles! that's good, right?

ubc arts also has theatre/creative writing/film studies. i don't know if you're interested... just saying.


here's some info on BMUS

here's some info on degree requirements for BA, music major

and i'm not saying you won't get into BMUS, aarie. don't even think that. i'm just saying, take a look at other possibilities because there's a lot of flexibility, depending on what you really want to do. and i think that a BA would be an excellent back up plan because of the opportunities still available for expansion in the field of music. plus i think it would still be awesome to get a ubc degree. would be a good asset/experience, plus keep your mom happy. i think.

but yeah. i don't know. let me know if you need any help planning out anything/looking into anything for school. i thrive on degree/event planning. seriously. it's fun! anyways, i just thought a ba was an alternative to look into. that's all.
