I got rejected from music school
Two days ago I attended the exam for "Musikalsk Grundkursus" (Danish) aka Music Intro Course, which is a three year part-time education in music composition.
Anyways, at the bottom is my submission. I "passed" the exam with the lowest possible passing grade but was ultimately rejected. Not in an email after the exam. No, they straight up said it to my face.
They basically told me my music wasn't sophisticated enough (I guess their definition of sophistication is avant-garde noise). In the evaluation, I was told that I should just go make music for games (they had previously asked me what music inspired me, I had answered game music).
At one point, one of the censors asked me if "I had listened to all Bach concerti" because she didn't think I had enough music knowledge "to draw from". (This is despite me having mentioned Vivaldi and Shostakovich and that I listen to classical music).
Yeah, they basically hated this style of music which genuinely surprised me as it's definitively similar to often heard music out there. I had not expected a top grade but neither to be straight up shit on.
Maybe the music isn't sophisticated, but like for real? It's THE MUSIC ENTRY COURSE, not the conservatory.
Oh well, guess I'll become a politician then🤷
