Question: How do I get into Musicians Institute for guitar?What do they require to get in and how much does it cost?14 months ago
Best AnswerFrom what I figure, Tuition at MI is roughly 5k per quarter, depending on what program you choose. The bachelor's program is 6k, but if you're aiming for the associates GIT program (like I am) it's around 5k. To get in, you have to request an application, and they'll ask you some generic questions. Then they'll ask you to make a CD of yourself playing and speaking. They'll ask you to play 2 scales and 2 arpeggios of your choice, and to play one song, all with a metronome. Then, they'll ask you to record your speech of why you want to attend MI. That's about it as far as applying. |

Question: How hard is it to enter the Musicians Institute?Im 18yrs old and ive been playing the piano for about 5 yrs,ive been in several bands all participating as the keyboard player, i have also produced several solo projects while playing with past bands although im also a ""expert"" with the sampling, keyboard, synth, fl loops, sony acid, i wanna go to the musicians institute in hollywood to study for audio engineering then returning to do keyboard and wanted to know if its difficult to enter and is it really expensive???16 months ago
Best AnswerWow bro yeah i've been playing piano for about the same time as you and have also had experience with plenty of bands as well... I'm attending the musicians institute this fall 2008(school starts october 6) I'm doing an AA program KIT with combined emphasis on Audio engineering and found it pretty easy to get in. I have had experience with Pro tools Logic studio and Motu DP5, so that really helped me in getting accepted. But this school is EXPENSIVE! I had to apply for financial aid(FAFSA), scholarships, and loans to pay my tuition so if you've got time.... save bro! But as far as acceptance you should be fine since you've had experience! |

Question: what do you think of the musicians Institute (Los angeles, California)?it's supposed to be a non-traditional music college, it all sounds good, has anyone been there? Any opinions?21 months ago
Best AnswerIt's a good place IF you can afford it. I got accepted in there back in 2002 or 2003, but I couldnt go because I couldn't afford their tuition per semester. It was like $2,500 per quarter for their PI ( percussion) program. I didnt have enough money at the Student Loan signing so I and to back out. I think it's a good school overall, but you just really need to to have the cash to go there...that's all. |
