[DajaWaja]

OHHHH shit so this is in california????? ME WANNA ME WANNA

[DaveyMurray1]

God I'd love to go here, but I just don't have the guts to move lol

[MrNoak2]

Might go here in a few years. Don't have the money or the guts to move so far away right now

[gabriel777simon]

I'm from Brazil and I play for 8 years.. I really wanna to take classes in MI

[musiciansinstitute]

...separately if you prefer.

In January 2012, MI Extension classes in Audio Engineering, Music Video & Film and Music Business will be offered independently of the certificate or degree track programs.

[musiciansinstitute]

Hi Irieiris28, we strongly recommend a background in music theory that involves sight reading if you're looking to pursue any of our performance degree programs. However, we take into consideration your entire application including your personal statement, letters of recommendation and audition video when determining acceptance.

Our certificate Industry certificate programs are offered as emphases to the performance programs, or as individualized certificate programs. So you may study those...

[irieiris28]

If you a are a beginner at playing bass (beginner as in never had any formal lessons and only been playing about a year or so) is there still a good chance of getting in? And is it possible to take the Audio Engineering class and Music Business class without taking a bass, guitar, ect. class? Or is taking one of those necessary?

[MLutte117]

this is my number one goal in my life right now. Going here. 

[RandyRhoadsFan96]

what if you don't know how to read music (guitar ) can you still get in?

[TornPaperYoyos]

@RandyRhoadsFan96 Well It would be a good idea to try and at least learn the basics before you go here. In the associate of arts they have Music reading 1 2 and 3 where you can learn to read music. if you go to there website and go to the tab backgrounds and find associate of arts (im assuming you play guitar) and choose guitar and it will take to a page where you then have to click on associate of arts and it will show you their curriculum and what they do during those classes from single strin

[TornPaperYoyos]

@RandyRhoadsFan96 im sorry i ran out of room. what i was saying was anywhere from single string improvisation to in your case reading music.

[arsehole420]

too bad i'm poor...

[afms93]

Is this heaven? Too bad it probably costs a little too much

[ZakkyFaith]

hey im only in the 9th grade, but i have been playing guitar for 5 or 6 years now. I know basic theory (reading music, major and minor chords, basic stuff). Where can i find information about getting into the school/auditions?

[Cyberman86]

do you need to be good and be able to read music to be accepted?

I can play the piano by ear I'm average, and i don't know how to read music.

[WretchedDrummer]

Damn I really want to go to M.I. now !

[koolperson55]

If you play drums do you have to bring your own gear?

[Akalack]

[InsanityType66]

i want to go here when i graduate from high school but the thing im worried about is if id be good enough to make it in :/ but i still have 3 yrs left so........

[Cristian364]

@InsanityType66 i know exactly how you feel. My biggest fear is that I wont be able to get in over something stupid like some bad grades in math or because I'm not that good at theory you know?? And im only a year older than you dude.

[InsanityType66]

yeah man. im indian so the pressure on at school. everyone thinks im supposed to get A+ grades in stuff when im really only good at music. math im bad at and history and L.A. i suck at :( but im gunna try really hard to keep everything up. and i just started doing theory cause i felt stupid musically .

[sicktkdchick]

ya i know what ur talkin about too im a sophomore and im wondering if i need to get into algebra 2 to get into the bachelors program at mi. im currently in geometry.

[InsanityType66]

im in geo too. we have a really strict teach FML . on my quize, i turned it in knowing i got an A+ and i had 2 mistakes: not putting an angle measure and not putting a --- over a reapiting number. FML

[sicktkdchick]

dude ur luck! geometry is really hard get an a+on a test in my opinion. all the postulates,theorm and proofs are killer

[InsanityType66]

yeah. but algebra 2 gunna be wayyy easier

[sicktkdchick]

alright great! i hope i can get there

[InsanityType66]

Same Here!!!!!!!!!!

[gunsnrosesful]

do you have to audition to get in

[InsanityType66]

yeah

[Prince579]

ya me too im going there no matter what

[commbat1]

for 3 yyears

[Alejandro4891]

hopefully i can attend MI in three years.

[GiZm0130]

wat would you say is better: Berklee college of music or Musicians Institute??

[MusicianofStark]

I've been to Berklee. I went for a couple semesters...in all honesty...MI looks better to me for being a player aqnd a casual artist. Berklee is amazing..but just way to...idk...traditional.

[GiZm0130]

Berklee is very traditional. In terms of teaching I know berklee has amazing professors, but are as you said traditional in teaching. I look into MI further. maybe I'll take a trip down there and take a tour. Maybe when i finish with Northeastern ill apply for the hell of it.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

..ask them any question about anything? Wow, great teachers

[MayCryBlood666]

i wana go here when i grow up

[Tiffanyg21]

im thinking about going there after i graduate from the art institute. any idea on how much it would all cost?

[Malik82691]

cant wait...i'm so excited to go to MI

[richiec54]

how much would a year of guitar playing with room and board and food and all cost?

[musiciansinstitute]

Hello... if you contact the Admissions Department, they'll be able to answer your questions. The contact info is in the upper-right corner.

[RocknRollast]

How much does it cost to go there?

[shaanfahey]

I graduated from MI in '89 (drums) and I'm sure there are some decent teachers there now too, but the place is set up like a factory: $20,000 in, "musician" out. Don't go if you don't have some serious cash, and don't let someone else pay any of your tuition for you. You need to earn your talent.

My advice is to first take good lessons in your hometown for six straight months, showing you have the discipline to practice MORE than he assigns. Then you'll have a clearer picture.

[2183790pluss44]

Hey was it worth it am thinking of going this fall what did you get out of it

[Esrd1]

hey umm ok so i just graduated from high school and i been playing guitar for 5 years im pretty good and i want to attend MI but im not sure like what it can do for me can you explain it alittle more? please W/B

[urbanecho]

i am in the same position as you ESRd1 but for Drums

[Esrd1]

ohh yeah? well see what im thinking of doing is going to a jr college first then go get my bachelors there at MI

[acousticaptitude]

that is $20.000 per term right...?

[MistahhB]

Im from Sweden and I want to attend MI. Fuck ME!

[loveforsteelstrings]

No, but you need to leard to read at MI. You can start at level 1. But if you've never read a note, you have to really work to catch up.

[Chanbang18]

I have been playing guitar for about 4 or 5 years but I am not sure how good you need to be to sign up there for the aa program can any one help me out with that?

[loveforsteelstrings]

There are players at MI that are beginners, and there are players that are professionals. If you are a beginner and havent played for so long, you probably have to work harder. Go for it!

[SeanPierceJohnson]

they have music reading classes.

[switchfootdrummer]

i would think you would
