Some of you know that while I've always been a professional musician, my day job was a comp. sci. prof and then dean of academic affairs at a junior college. In the late 90s we created what I thought was an innovative program for a one-year degree, a certificate in music performance. It was designed to help kids, some who were disadvantaged musically or financially, to get a year to hone skills at lower cost and be better prepared to enter a music school. The program was very popular and successful. Twenty-five years later, I could not in good conscience create such a program.
