NJMTA Initiatives

The 2011 NJMTA State Conference will feature a panel discussion: “On to College: Making Choices for Music Study?” This panel of college and university teachers will discuss the “next steps” for students leaving high school and going on to college. Some of the questions will include: Should pianists major in music? Can or should they double Major? What are the pros and cons of double majoring? Are there many colleges/universities offering this possibility? What are the career potentials of the person who has majored in performance or pedagogy vs. the double major (liberal arts and music or music education and piano, for example? Panelists include Phyllis Lehrer (Westminster Conservatory, Westminster Choir College), Veda Zuponcic (Rowan University), Ena Barton (Westminster Conservatory, Westminster Choir College), Richard Woo (Westminster Conservatory), and Wayne Heisler (The College of New Jersey).
