Reverse psychology dictates that I am now extremely interested in the AIM, just to see how terrible it is. Argh! bennyboy249, you play the piano, right? I've heard that piano performance is extremely competitive. However, I recently attended a relevantly-titled seminar ("Careers In Music")...

What instrument do you play, bennyboy249? One of the other students in my music class was considering attending the AIM, until I discovered the terrible rumours that circulated it and warned them. This forum is to be thanked for that. How's the AIM for other topics, such as ccmposition and...

I'm interested in expanding my musical horizons for performance. Thus, are there any web sites or organizations that would host listings or news for, say, musical orchestra members or session musicians? I'm just hoping to be able to perform something outside of school and AMEB exams. The idea...

Nice find, ur_inner_child! I have duly signed up for the mailing list. Would you happen to know of any similar web sites?

It often seems that the little inspiration that strikes me does so at the wrong times. While showering or on the train, for example, I might suddenly think of a relatively good guitar solo or melody, but as a brain-to-MIDI converter has not yet been invented, the best way would probably be to...

Awesome; it sounds like you already have everything planned out quite solidly. I have a fairly good idea of what I'm going to attempt, but it's not completely certain. Many of my friends have absolutely no idea as to what industry they would like to break into, however. As you seem to have done...

I see, I see. So...what exactly does the BABMusStudies degree allow you to do? Branch off into whatever area of Music you want? Politics, eh? Would I sound like an idiot if I asked you if you're planning to become a politician? o_0

Phanatical, just out of curiosity, why are you doing a Music Studies course? Don't get me wrong; it's just that my impression of you is that of an accomplished composer, so I'm just a little surprised that you're not studying Composition. EDIT: Roffle, I find this hilarious: "The goals of...

I'm more envious of people who are talented/awesome enough to only have to worry about their Music course being too easy, not too hard! :eek: (By the way, I'm typing this without using my right thumb, as it's currently incapacitated. It's much harder than it sounds. Seriously.) There are 5...

Cool, a combined Arts/Medicine course would be awesome, although I doubt it would be introduced in time for me to enter it. Thanks everyone; I think those are all the n00bish questions I can think of right now. I appreciate all of the help.

Thanks, Raginsheep! By the way, you made me think when you said: "You could do an degree in Music first if you really wanted to." Is it uncommon or a bad idea to do one degree (Music is 4 years) first, and then a second degree (Science would be about 3-4years, I would imagine)? I don't...

Hmm...thanks for the responses so far. Can one enter an Advanced Science or Talented Students course based on one's result in the HSC, or by making it into a Science Olympiad team? I'm going to consult my careers advisor soon (hoepuflly he can obtain some information booklets or something)...

Sorry, let me clarify that. Basically what I'm asking is: - what exactly does a Science course involve and what is the employment like? - for a Science course, can I choose any sub-branch of Science that I'd like to study or is it all biomedical? - does UNSW offer a Music Composition...

That would take a lot of money, wouldn't it? $15k per degree? *whistles*

Woah, you can do that? Wait, does that mean I can do two separate degrees? e.g., Medicine at UNSW or USyd AND Composition? What about clashing timetables? Do composers generally have multiple jobs because mmusic doesn't pay well, or because of a lack of jobs (but there are only 20 or so Con...

Cool, so when can one enter the advanced course? Is it an additional honours-style thing, or do you become "promoted" to a better class?

Wow, thanks bunny. That's actually pretty creepy news. I wonder what I should tell my friend. After all, this could truthfully be the only chance he (and probably me) will ever get at becoming professional musicians. The Con = way too hard. However, there's no point if an AIM degree isn't worth...

Hey, I'm currently in Year 11 but I'm highly unsure about what course/University to choose. What's so awesome about UNSW is that it's the only place I've found so far to offer a combined Music and Medicine degree. However, I'm not sure about the Music side of it. Er, Arts/Medicine DOES mean I...

Hi there; although my questions are related to Science and Medicine, it's probably better to post it here, as they're also quite general in a way. Here's the situation. I'm probably going to end up studying Medicine, but I'd absolutely love to be able to make a career in Music. Lately, I've...
