Approximately half the students are in the traditional college age bracket; most programs are based on a comprehensive musicianship approach but texts and materials vary widely. Instructional space and faculty salaries are considered Very Adequate, but a majority of the instructors feel they do not have Adequate time for preparation or personal growth and development. | en_US |
