I'm still in highschool, but I plan on applying for NYU for music business.
I was on their website, and seeing what was needed to apply, and they mentioned atleast 5 needs of singing?
Anyone currently in NYU majoring in music business, must you really sing to apply?
Does anyone know if you must be good at singing to be accepted in music business, because I have no musical talents, and can't quite grasp the need of singing well to be in music business?
Please tell me what you do know.
It could be abotu any college that has music business, but primarily NYU.
Thankyou!!

If it is to perform, they hold auditions. You want to contact them specifically for what it is you are interested in. I'm not too sure for singing auditions, but for instruments you can audition or send them a CD of your playing. If you are looking to perform to make money, then I would say you need to be good at singing or instrument playing - it is very competitive here in NY alone.
If its the musical industry itself in terms of selling instruments/music, lessons, recording, then you should ask them specifically. I know they have a course called music composition, which is basically learning to write music. Call their admissions office and ask to speak to somebody directly for what it is you want.
They have their own school where you can choose your own studies. See if it interests you and what you are looking for. If you do want to go into performance, then you would be applying to Tisch School of the Arts. Hope that helped and good luck. [ HectorJr's advice column | Ask HectorJr A Question ]
