Subject: Percentage of students in theory/ comp
Hello. This question is targeted at colleagues who teach at universities and colleges in the US. What percentage of your overall music student body majors in some sort of composition degree? This could be theory/comp or comp with electronic or computer music, etc, though I'm not looking for electronic or music technology degrees unless the focus is really on composition.
I ask as someone teaching at school with 150-175 majors with a lot of music ed students. There is some disagreement over what might be a typical breakdown amongst the rest of the degrees (BA and BM performance the others besides BM theory/comp and the mused degrees).
Thanks for your thoughts!
