Sarah C. Darling '01, who took a year off from Harvard to study violin performance at Julliard, says that performance opportunities at Harvard are even more numerous than at the famous New York performing arts college.
"Performance opportunities on campus are great, but you don't have the same chance to practice and focus," Darling says. "Here it is totally normal for me to play two to three concerts a week, but at Julliard everyone practice for at least five hours a day."
And though she benefited from her time away, she says she missed the diversity of Harvard's campus and the opportunity to socialize with non-performance specialists.
Music Professor Robert Levin says that the department has no plans to establish a performance major, simply because of the logistical difficulties involved.
The creation of a performance major, he says, would require quadrupling the music department faculty and tripling of the size of the music department.
