IU...chances of scholarship? Let me know please!

[brendan765]

Hey I'm a junior in highschool, residential to Indiana. Would like to go to IU this summer for their piano academy. Also would like to attend college there after my senior year; 2014.  majoring in performance, masters hopefully.

Advice for me?

You think I will get in, explain...

I love playing piano and am mechanically very capable of difficult music. reach around octave 3rd to 4th, Working on technique right now...trying to lose the tension that apparently is in my hands says the Russian Piano Instructor i'm working with...My masters degree, music theory teacher/ametuer pianist says I have great technique though

I express music well, am doing alot better with knowing how a piece should sound


I have a large repertoire of peices I play descently 50-100 of Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mozart, Beethoven, Liszt, Bach, Debussy, Mendelssohn, etc.   My russian teacher is all about technical shape up at this point...apparently im behind if I want to be a wealthy concert pianist.

I am good in music theory, know all the college stuff.

I am big into composing!!!!

Ive played my whole life.




I have about a 2.8 now, will be a 3.0 gpa or above when im done with highschool...will I be able to get a music scholarship?? I sight read alot better now, almost any piece that is not ridicoulous like liszt sonatas I can play and people could understand and say hey thats pretty good or whatever..let me know thanks!

I have posted in your other forum. That brings me to point #2: Please do NOT post identical topics on different boards. One thread is plenty for you to get your information.
