Can I get into these certain colleges with my resume looking like this?

admin — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 13:51:18 +0000

Hello! I am currently a senior in high school residing in southern California. I have finished my personal statements and essays for my college application, but I would like some feedback about my chances on getting into my dream schools: Vassar, Boston University, Emerson, NYU, and more. I am going to major in Acting/Theatre, and have my strength in that field, which would make me audition for that college of theatre in those universities.

Thank you if you could give me your thoughts!

Here is my unorganized resume:

- 3.97 unweighted GPA
- I still need to take my SAT or ACT
- Playing cello for 10 years; involved in the most rigorous school music classes since elementary school; performed at the Jazz Bakery in Los Angeles with SPLA (String Project Los Angeles)
- Won Most Valuable Player (MVP) Award in JV Tennis; I had to quit tennis because of constant injuries
- Won a national essay contest for students wanting to go to Korea for a cultural tour
- Volunteered at Salvation Army, Skid Row, and worked Friday nights by teaching art to five children at once; work with child with autism.
- Sunday School teacher for five years.
- Tutoring/housing a foreign student from South Korea.
- Won school scholarship for music performance
- Auditioned for a college play but could not participate in production because of school hours and rides.
- Involved in CSF (California Scholarship Federation), Key Club
- I will have taken seven AP courses by the end of this year.
- I will audition and take part in school plays since I started drama this year (I wasn’t allowed to take the class before)
- I was involved in the school paper as an editor
- I went to Stanford University during the summer for Journalism
- I finished Korean a year earlier than usual, and finished AP Calculus AB as a junior.
- I also moved away from my original public school to a small private one, but I moved back to my original public school. The tuition and education at the private one was a bit…

Thanks!

You should be a slam dunk for all of the schools listed.

Guitar Lessons for homeschoolers?

admin — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 16:53:38 +0000

We are starting a music school and want to reach local homeschoolers' parents (we are in the San Fernando Valley part of Los Angeles), but I can't seem to find a group so I can see about advertising to them. Does anyone have any ideas? (I tried googling) Thanks

Start with the state HS'ing associations, find the list of LA area HS'ing groups, and contact them.

Search Yahoo Groups for HS groups in your area and write the list owner (it's on the group home pages) to ask if they'd pass along your info to anyone interested.

Post notices at the library and bookstores. Librarians typically know a LOT of HS'ers and can put them in their "community information" displays.

See if there are any HS co-ops near you where you could teach. We have two graduate music students teaching general music and guitar at our co-op.

can someone proof read my artists statement for art school?

admin — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 19:58:45 +0000

hey , im applying to an art school in california , and they want an artists statement about who i am , why i want to go to there school and what inspires me etc is this ok

Personal Statement

Practicing art and design is not just to persue me career or my hobby , its my life. Being a creative person , I naturally am inspired by many things and am sensitive to my surroundings, and I cant imagine living my life without it.
When I started studying It helped me make decisions about where I wanted to go in the creative fields starting in a broad range of subjects like graphic design, painting and 3D work working my way through many fields to narrowing down what I felt inspired me most , I am currently studying illustration at Parsons Paris school of design , through this I have studied : illustration concepts , typography , fashion illustration , painting , drawing and multimedia techniques , I have been shown various animations by students at your school in my illustration concepts class and have been inspired to create something like this myself , I feel that XXX` has that certain style I want to express myself in, its not too traditional and I can see that the students enjoy themselves in their work .
I feel that my work is more successful when I have fun with what I am doing. I want to feel fulfilled with what I produce and keep feeding my creativity and I feel that the school and what it has to offer has the tools to help me do that.
After I graduate I would like to proceed into the masters program at XXX or look for work as an animator within the film industry.
Travelling has always been a passion of mine. I grew up in Glasgow and spent most of my life there studying, I then moved to London when I was 16 to live with my Father and assist in the up-keeping of his shop and Business. When I was 18 I moved to the French countryside and I am now living in Paris. This summer I visited the states for the first time and I was so inspired by the culture and the difference from Europe, France can be so conservative some times in keeping the old ways and frowning upon the young and new ideas although I do realise that make history, you sometimes have to learn from it, although I love it here I feel its time to get out and see the world, your school seems to be the place to be , I like the location of the school too , not too far but not too near Los Angeles , where I can have peace of mind , but if I need something ,this part of America has some great resources.
I also think that teamwork is an essential part of being an animator and I see that faculty and students have a bond with the students and everyone works as a team and brings their talents into the final results, its great being independent but when you have an idea that people can feed off of and create something spectactuar.
Being in multicultural schools all of my live has taught me how to deal with many different kinds of people and attitudes , how to communicate well and what to expect.
my influences include music , children’s books , folklore tales , poetry , nature documentrys , art nouveau, wilderness , abandoned spaces, fashion , paranormal stories , architechture, mystery , travel , Parisian culture, my experiences, videogames , comics, my favorite being Sandman by Neil Gaiman, photography and theatre.

thats all ive done so far , but can anyone give me pointers , ive never had to do this before argh

ask your art teacher.
He or she knows better.

College and financial aid and dropping out? ?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 22:22:25 +0000

Ok, this is long, bu I hope some of you can understand. I am in my first year of college (community college) and I recently have started feeling like I don’t want to be there. This school just isn’t for me. I want to be a music engineer and attend LA Recording School in Los Angeles. It is not a “college” but an accredited training school specializing in the field I want to do. So my question is, do I have to drop out of my college to go to the other? What about financial aid, will I not be eligible ever again if I drop out? Or can my financial aid be transfered to the new school? I hope someone can answer atleast one of my questions.

Just drop out and apply to a different college and use that same finanical aid program towards your next college.

Any advice on how to get a job at the Roxy club in L.A.?

admin — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 23:09:21 +0000

I'm moving to LA this summer. I will be attending the Los Angeles Recording School. I've heard a lot of good things about the Roxy, and thought it would be fun to work there! I would love to work where they have live music..

Any suggestions??

Ok here goes… I would not limit yourself to just applying at the Roxy… Serving in LA is as competitive as the music and film industries becuase thats what everyone does until they land that music or film carreer. Plus there are plenty of great bars/clubs with live bands… Try also the House of Blues, Whiskey, Rainbow room ect….. The Hollywood Roosevelt hires new bar and club servers right around this time of year as well and they cvan make upwards of a $1000 a night. It also helps to have a nice 3/4's headshot to submit with your resume… as here in LA looks definately count and more often then not the servers are some of the most beautiful girls in the club… Good luck to you.

What type of degree do I need?

admin — Mon, 29 Dec 2008 22:53:56 +0000

I want to work in the Music Business, preferably in Los Angeles. I have a bachelor's in business and will have an MBA in May. No school in LA offers a graduate course in this. NYU, Belmont, and U of Miami are my only options; however, NYU is way too expensive, and I'm worried that the other two will not open enough doors in LA since Nashville (Belmont) is big on country music and Christian pop (not my kind of music ha). Should I obtain a certificate in music business, a second bachelor's, etc? I'm stumped. Any advice would be appreciated!

The music industry doesn't require a lot of education. If you're interested in singing or producing, then vocal training, music technology and producing courses would suit your needs. If you plan to teach music, then a second degree in music would benefit you; however, if you plan to write, produce or sing, then earning a second degree in music will not better your chances in succeeding. Do whatever is best for you. If I were you, I would take some music courses. A degree doesn't necessarily means you have the best quality or education in that specific discipline.

Does anyone know about this certain college?

admin — Sat, 27 Dec 2008 23:47:21 +0000

The Los Angeles Recording School..

I have heard its pretty legit and everything..
But if anyone has attended it id like to know some input.

Because since i was 13 ive always wanted to produce music. and now im 16 and im almost done with highschool.. would just like to know if this is the best place in california to get that degree cause i want to be close to home. In case of family things.

So if you can input me with as much information as you can thanks..

Have you asked your school counselor for help? They usually know these things, could find out easily for you or put you in contact with someone who is in the “know”.

Good luck!
