cont.

The Bachelor's level seems more about performance than graduate studies.

They have a degree in researching folk and popular.  That sounds like a good Master's degree..

I am not sure how long I could stay there.  I didn't really want to leave my family.

I can see myself being there 3 years and easily maybe 1 year.

I didn't see any nonsense about general studies but language.  So, I'd take Finnish!

I want to do melodic percussion for my instrument.  I luckily have some experience, which some was good some not in a way, tho I enjoyed it a lot.  I'm not someone who'd sit however and drum to no music for an hour or so.  I know the Japanese do that from going to Epcot, as I live in Central Florida.  If I had to do drums, too, to do that, however, I would.  Something different.  That's what this is to me.  Unless it was like shooting for a doctorate or something, which I met someone who wanted one.  I mean in chosing percussion, the drums.  It seems percussionists who are good in college do piano.  I like to do the special instruments or want to, that is.  You know, like chimes or other melodic bells.  There apparently exist in the world interesting ones that set down that aren't like a xylophone.  So, I was a piano major for a year and can still play but not as much as before and got rid of my college piece..  Singing is what I most want.  They ask a lot of keyboardists to be amazing without playing with others much.  Maybe, I'm just not prepared.
