Hi guys, im applying for masters right now.
My degree is in Music Technology and film Production.
I took music theory in year 1, and got maximum points for the double semester. So Im good with simple music theory. However I cannot read music well enough to play an instrument to it.
I play guitar, and read guitar tabs, and play made up piano music.
I have grown up listening to the beatles, and radiohead, pink floyd, and as a younger man, basically chatrt music, and guitar music.
The only reason I think i should study classical over pop is because I like this complex, sophistcaticed, and mathmatical approach to composition, and feel i would learn more studying classical, and its fair to say i love classical music, but i dont know much about it.
my question is, am i gonna be completely out of my depth studying classical music masters composition, / will i even get on the course?
thanks for the messages. I am actually from england, living in germany, and applying in holland for these masters. Its kind of putting it into prespective now that your saying about the hoops. But i did study composition in my final year of my degree in London, I didnt do too well grades-wise, but it was my favourite thing out of all the subjects. I dont want to start another undergraduate. So I may have to do Music tech / studio arts , or pop music masters. Wouldn't be the end of the world if i studied pop. but im still highly intrigued with my love for eric satie, philip glass, max richter
