A Man with a Plan

I plan to play violin in the Rollins String Orchestra and take lessons there from a teacher who usually teaches little kids, like a prep program.

I hope to get into Rollins next year.  I had the 2nd highest scholarship at Loyola.  I hope I can get a transfer scholarship, on top of financial aid and loans.


I am partially excited and chose Rollins because it has a nice program in German.

Part of the reason I am in orchestra so soon, having asked and found out about this, and want to take German is so I can learn with other people guiding me so I don't slack off.


Rollins offers a BA in Music.  I did want a BM, but I'm not really a virtuoso anyway and have not had much violin yet.  I do think I progressed quickly.  I do have problems, like hitting other strings and getting tired of finding the notes from physical fatigue.  Also, UCF does not have German.  I think Rollins has a good foreign language department.


Also, I am reading a Music Theory AP book and a Music History book with pictures and 2 big pages for each period or event in music.


I need to be concerned about General Studies.

I eventually would like also an MM and DMA in Violin Performance.


It is depressing I am starting this at 30, but imagine if this never happened in my life.
