I studied music theory, aural skills (solfege, intervals, etc.), instrumental methods (learning how to teach basic instruments in each family), music history, historical analyisis (diagraming fugues,species counterpoint, schenkerian analyisis-fun stuff
), a little composition and arranging;conducting, piano, and some basic core classes (sociology, math,etc.). I also studied clarinet (my major instrument) and classical guitar; and did recitals on both. I did a lot of other performing too, such as concert band, orchestra, pit orchestra for the musicals, chorus, chamber winds,jazz band, clarinet ensemble, flute ensemble, and opera workshop (we performed scenes from some Mozart operas and Johnson's The Four Note Opera). I took a few voice lessons, too.
I was tempted to ask him why they aren't made anymore.
