cool man! I went to the new school (guitar). rutgers has a great program with a lot of history, ted dunbar was a legend. I studied with vic juris for a minute, he teaches at rutgers too I think.

thanks all. music class sounds kind of interesting, i don't think umass amherst allows people to take thos4e classes casually though. it appears i need some sort of music major or minor to get into everyone one of them. maybe i'll just sit in on something and see what it's like.

it might help to take a beginner's theory and maybe some piano lessons, just to get a feel for reading music etc.

yeah, vic started teaching my freshman year because of Ted sudden death in may before my first semester. I also studied with Bill Fielder and Kenny Barron a bit too [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. The New School is a great school. I thought about going there, but I didn't want a full conservatory type place when I was choosing schools, but the connections you probably got at the new school were sick
