If you are good at one subject, you can also take the vocal music major. Whether you sing a cappella or with an accompaniment depends on how good your melody is. However, it is recommended that you sing with an accompaniment, so that you can not avoid being nervous during the exam. You won't say it out of tune. The accompaniment can only be on CD, and you cannot bring along a teacher to accompany you on site. The music department at the University of Vancouver is pretty good, it’s the second one on this campus. o(∩_∩)o
