Could be so much better, if only they cared....
Pros:Facilities are great with plenty of practice rooms. Great recital halls.
Cons:Performance opportunities are minimal with poorly thought out performance classes. Visiting artists have been more like visiting lectures. Music department - more like research department. Great if you're into research. Staff interaction - email only. No student common room. Staff do bear minimum that they have to.
Suggestions:Go elsewhere if you want performance opportunities and a department that cares about that.
