Hey, does anyone know anything about AIM? I have a friend who wants to enter it for Performance, but I've heard terrible things about it from you guys. What's it like for Composition, as well, and how about the qualifications for both courses? Apprently they're almost worthless, but the AIM's...

I listened to a few of the past Encore compositions, and I must admit that I'm very freaked out. To be honest, I disliked the sound of them all; to my untrained ear, they sounded unstructured, dissonant and one could even venture to say "crap". Before you whip out your flamethrowers, yes, I...

Music tutoring certainly sounds cool, but wouldn't most people ask their private music teachers to help them? I know that the student who has a lesson after me is doing Music for her HSC, and I think she's receiving special attention from my teacher, instead of the usual "Okay, play these pieces...

tash, I've found an awesome Arts/Medicine program that I'm hoping you might know about. It's located here: http://www.handbook.unsw.edu.au/undergraduate/programs/2006/3841.html I'm absolutely stunned. It's everything I could ever have hoped for, but two main things I'd like reassurance on are...

Did you say...sing an unaccompanied song? Gulp... It's good to hear Music 1/2 isn't that essential, but it's even better to hear about the possibility of a B.Med/B.Arts degree. Do you know if that Arts degrees would be worth anything, or would be pretty much be "just for fun"? I mean, would...

Did anyone do this in year 9-11? How was it, how much did you study, and how hard is it to make the camp/team? Any general advice? I did it last year (year 10) with cramming only the morning before. There was only one question that I could actually answer because of my "studying", and it was a...

Re: BMusCompo Great advice once again, so thanks. I think you answered everything I wanted to ask perfectly. 14 places sounds quite daunting, though. Would that mean the composition employment rate's good, since only a small number of candidates are allowed in? I really need to do some research...

Re: BMusCompo Thanks, for the quick and helpful reply, ur_inner_child. After reading your post, I'm curious about what style of music you yourself compose in. It's probably a good thing they prefer "crazy and daring and modern", but do you have to have very complex scores? I was just...

Re: BMusCompo Hey there, I have a few questions for all you talented Con artists. :p Firstly, I haven't heard anyone talk about entering for Performance with classical guitar. What's it like? How many people are accepted, and does it depend on the instrument (e.g., 5 classical guitarists...

I have some one hundred percent original works that I have never submitted anywhere. In fact, I'm the only one who knows they exist. Now you do, too. Yay! Seriously though, what I was hoping to do would be to use these (incomplete) ideas and maybe add a little throughout the course...

Although this would be excellent for me, I'd like to make sure it's honest first, due to the requirement of a composition diary. I'm not going to fake one, as that would be nothing less than cheating. A friend of mine says he will probably use a previously-created composition and simply...

Note: if you would like to skip all the introductory rambling, head down to the sentences in bold. Thanks in advance. I apologize for the disturbing length of this post. Before I bombard everyone with my questions, here's a little relevant background information about myself. I've just started...
