Music critic major?

Question:

Music critic major?

I would like to be a music major when I graduate from college. I was wondering what would be a good major for this career path?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Well if you want to be a music critic, a good idea is to get a Bachelor of Arts with a minor in music. If you play an instrument (and play it well), another good idea is to simply get a Bachelor of Music.

What kind of music critic do you want to be? If you want to review popular music, the Bachelor of Arts is a better idea. Music students are often not allowed to take courses based on popular music for credit. You can still take them if you're a music major, but it may seem to be a waste of your time.
