Would I be able to get a student loan large enough to buy a new bassoon if I'm a music major?

Hi Meg-

I'm an oboe major in music school and I know just how you feel. I play on a customized Fox conservatory oboe myself and just like you- choke on the price of it.

Music major bills are already much higher than the normal major because you will be forced into 11-14 courses per semester, do 12+ hour classroom days Mon- Friday and be traveling almost every weekend doing shows, performances and what not all over the country (trust me) I live it every day. they are really strict on loans and what not with music majors because you'll have to do general education courses in the summer because there's no way you can do more than 1 a semester. (those 11-14 courses will all be music- ranging from theory, to piano, string methods, music history, music tech).

Another kicker is you have to audition AND pass to get into any music dept. Auditions- you have to play 2 pieces, sing, and pass vocal and rhythm tests- not to mention, as a performance major, you will get SLAMMED on judging because they except nothing less than perfect. If you fail, the schools will not let you take one music course (I auditioned all over the country, I know the system). You need to prove that you got in, are going and are accepted before anyone gives you large chunks of money.

A student loan isn't the way to do it. Apply for a lot of music scholarships (and if you're good, the dept will give you one- like I ended up with). Asking parents for help also wouldn't hurt.

Best of luck to you! I know how you feel

Students and parents who must deal with the high cost of a college education have available to them a wide range of student loans. This article offers details on three general types of student loans. Unlike other student loans, application for a specific Stafford Loan should be preceded by the filing of a Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). The FAFSA application should be made in the name of the aspiring student.

Like some other student loans, application for the Signature Loan permits the use of a co-signer. In fact, there is a real advantage to applying for a Signature Loan with a co-signer.

Hello,

I live in the US and i really have never seen goodness shown to me this

much in my life as i am a struggling mum with three kids and i have been going

through really rough times in my life and my name is Helen

Peters and in all this hard times, a worse incident occured in my life as i

lost my job which was my only means of survival and things became really bad as

i had bills to pay and my last son suffered a knee injury incurred when he fell

from a tree house and the doctors informed me that he needed a surgical

operation for his knee so he could walk again and at this point, life was

useless to me as i have no family and no one to run to and each night, i will

sit down and cry till the break of dun until one day, i read an advert on yahoo

answers of man that stated that he could help people in my shoes with loans and

in my desperate situation, i had no choice but i had to try and so shocking and

suprising, it was like an impossibility becoming a reality, i got a loan of

$75,000 USD even with my bad credit within 48 hours and my sons surgery was done

and thank GOD it was successful and now, i am okay and living in comfort with my

kids and i said to my self, i have never ever seen this kind of wonder in life

and i decided i will tell it to the whole wild world and i need every one to

thank GOD for Mr Patrick Harvey, the man GOD used to rescue me and my family

even when all hope had been lost and gone and i will say to every one, no matter

how dark and sinful the world is today, there are still GOD fearing and reliable

people on earth and if you are in my former situation or require a loan

legitimately, i will advice you contact this loan lender and you can reach him

via patrickharvey12@yahoo.com and i want you all to pray for this man for me.
