School of Music was an extremely negative experience. In fact
I have convinced several college-bound students to study elsewhere. The
guitar department consisted of guitarists who - while technically proficient
- had no interest in teaching. As soon as a
class was done you weren't allowed to ask them questions,
and they spent very little time engaging with other students.
My teachers would give us some sheet music to learn
and then just stay on the computer or go to
the teachers lounge for 30 minutes. After four years of
inferior teaching, I improved very little. It took study with
a truly competent teacher to undo the bad teaching and
begin singing again. Now I play guitar as a session
musicians professionally and have no positive memories of MSM. When
you are young it is fairly easy to snow you
with claims of prestige. If you are a guitarist be
very wary. Working in the industry I have come across
grad's from the Musician's Institute in California and Berklee College
of Music in Boston. Grad's have praised these schools to
no end and if I could go back I wish
I would've chosen one of them.
Another thing, I graduated
in 2004 and NO ONE in my class plays music
professionally as of 2010 apart from me. Prior to what
they promised me, MSM do not help you AT ALL once you graduate...which is ridiculous for a music school.
