out of all of these kids in the class, i was probably the most interested in writing actual classical music - as one would expect from a first-year arts course, the class was half-filled with poptarts and half-filled with just rich kids that were flat out losers, all around.
and, what the school told me in not so many words was that it wasn't interested in students that were interested in being composers - it only wanted students that were interested in performing pop music.
