She just graduated from Cal Art's with a degree in Sound Engineering and Math. She has excellent recs from a School that is an acknowledged think tank for the industry. She is out looking and has offers and better yet, connections. Cal Arts has been very good to us. They charge California tuition rates and I make Texas Teacher's Salary again married to a musician. After her first year and very hard work, they really stepped up. The things she does is cutting edge computer. In fact, when she went out for freshman orientation, all the guys (and it was guys) in her class were real computer nerds. She asked her mentor if she was really right for the program. Imagine an Indian accent
"You will be one of my best students."
"But all these guys have more computer skills than I."
"I can teach you the computer skills in 9 months, it will take me 4 years to make them musicians."
She said she knew then that she was at the right school. Cal Arts was founded by Roy and Walt Disney. Some of their graduates went on to form Pixar, Sponge Bob, Tim Burton....just to name a few.
She performs when she has time. She and her BF have a music room in their house. Everything from keyboard, bass guitar, oboe, tablas and sitar.
