I know this is a dumb post but does anyone know if there are any pedal steel guitarist in Juilliard School of Performing Arts?

Hank Corwin, currently living in Ms. and with the D.S.S.G.&M.A, formerly in Nashville, Tn. and a member of The Gems (Jim Ed. Brown band) is originally from N.Y. and attended Julliard. I guess the best way to contact him would be through Bill Stafford.

I don't think they have pedalsteel as an instrumental major but there may be an opening in the composition program. What is your interest in Julliard ?

Hey Bob. I have a Georgia Musicians Association scholarship and I was trying to get into a music school and play the psg but I might have to get in playing the violin. My school councler told me about Juilliard and I took an intrest in it because you dont have to take any kind of test to get in, you just show them a high school diploma and audition. But I dont know if my scholarship will work in New York.

Austin. I just checked your profile. Here's a tip: when you get to Juilliard for your audition, don't tell them you're a "Future Welding Engineer".  |
Right; Chas went to Cal Arts, not Juilliard. |

Look for Mike Ihde . And check out Berklee
They let me finish up on pedal steel in the guitar department under Mike
I would say thats your best option with music schools
they are alot more open accepting banjo and mandolin
I think there was even I guy who graduted on Pan flute
Good Luck |

Jim, I have a music scholarship and I HAVE to use it on music, if not the state of Georgia will screw me over and try to take my scholarship away. I am still going to get an engineering degree AFTER I use my scholarship which expires in 2 years.

If you want to go into Jazz studies look at North Texas University. Belmont in Nashville is worth checking out for steel also. I worked on a degree in composition at SUNY Purchase. They have a very good music program and its not too expensive. My guess is Julliard would not be a good fit. There are hundreds of schools with music programs like studio comp that might work out for you.

I agree that Berklee or North Texas would be good. You might also consider Indiana and Southern Cal.
North Texas does have the advantage of being in an area with some good veteran players who might be good teachers. It's a half-hour north of Dallas and Fort Worth. It has a thriving music scene outside the school as well. It also might be the most economical of these four schools. |

If you are thinking of going to school in NYC add at least $20,000.00 to your budget a year for your most basic living expenses.

I think Donna Hammitt is a graduate of Belmont University and majored in pedal steel there. Her website is www.donnahammitt.com
Not sure if she's still on the road with Bill Anderson |

South Plains College Levelland, TX.
Commercial music program. It is a little school 20 miles west of Lubbock. I went there for 2 years. Great instructors lots of opportunities for a steel player. Plus a great blue grass program ran by Alan Munde. |

| A former bass student of mine,Jeff Curry, attendet NTSU and told me how lots of his classmates had the opportunity to make extra cash in the DFW area playing gigs. Most of them were bass players who could play any style and had the communication skills to make the boss happy. Also as Bob Hofnar points out, it is a lot cheaper to live than NYC. And you can't go wrong being able to excel on violin as well as PSG. Best of luck to you! PS Jeff Curry now lives in Tokyo and plays and publishes original compositions among other music related ventures. He went for three years. Never did graduate. This seems to be a a pattern inthe "music performance" academic scene. Don D. |

East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, TN has a country, bluegrass, old time music degree program. Dobro lessons are in their curriculum, as are country electric and acoustic guitar, and they have dobro instructors. This is also an incredibly cheap area to live in and close to some very beautiful country.
I am interested in this program myself, if anyone knows anything more about it please let me know.

Austin, check out Belmont in Nashville. You may be able to do something steel related there, not sure.

| Do you think there would be much difference (besides the $20000) between Juilliard and South Plains College Levelland, TX. 20 miles west of Lubbock? |

Thanks guys for all your inputs. I will deffently check in with Belmont Univ. to see if I can play steel there. Also it looks like to me that Juillard is like the "Harvard" of music schools. Thanks for all the input.

In regard to a degree in pedal steel, South Plains College in Texas, I would have to say, would have the edge in prestige. |
