What are some good universities for a cello performance major?
Hi, I'm in high school and I would like to major in cello performance in college and eventually make a career out of music. Does anyone know any schools that are especially good for this?
Thanks! #education #music #music-performance #orchestral-music #playing-cello

Hi! First, you must know if you are willing to relocate to another city/state. Once you have that issue clear in your mind, then you either need to find out what music schools are in your area or research schools nationally (or even internationally). Also, you need to know if you want to be a cello teacher, performer, play in an orchestra, or some/all of the above. Some schools will be better at helping you become a performer and others will help you become a teacher.
All the best!
