Portfolios at Excelsior or TESC in Music

Peace,

This is exactly the kind of description that I saw several of back in the late 80's and early 90's when I first considered the portfolio path.

I suspect it may have changed a little since then, but hopefully not for the worse. I think I am going to spend some time at the library tomorrow and take a look at some catalogues.

I think the key is finding courses from RACs that map to the skills I want to document. And there are a lot of options out there.

Yes, it would be scary to challenge courses totalling 90 credits from a financial standpoint. Writing a check for nearly $10,000 not knowing if it would pay off would definitely keep me up nights waiting for the results. But hopefully the advisors could help minimize the risk.

I may still end up going the testing route. But I may not. If I do go for it on the portolios I will keep everyone updated on my progress. Like I said, I'm lucky in that I have a lot of irrefutable documentation. I think my biggest challenge will be properly mapping the courses to that documentation.

Thanks again for the articles. This is an exciting process and it's fun to be able to share it with like-minded people.
