Dick Grantges hound!rfg Although I am not attending a strictly music school, I am taking advanced theory classes, and although I am not a music major, I do have an active interest in the subject and have friends who are music majors. I don't know about anyplace else, but here we are encouraged to listen to recordings, and the professors will recommend which ones they believe to be the best. Of course live performances are also encouraged, and I consider them preferable, but finances do not always permit. I do find the idea of stamping out recordings to be intersting as well as horrible, and if there is a college that does recommend that I would like to know about it so I can avoid it, since I am considering a music minor in graduate school "So little to do and so much time to do it in..."
