Impressive resume.
ReplyDeleteJust brainstorming here, but typically grad schools want to see significant experience first.
You might reorganize your resume so less relevant experiences (e.g., Pretzelmaker) could go under a heading like "other work experience" at the bottom of the resume. Under relevant musical experiences, you might want to write the skill sets or activities you performed as part of that experience.
For example, when I applied for jobs, I had "eighth grade language arts teacher" as a line, but underneath that, I wrote different things I did as an eighth grade teacher "e.g., developed integrated language arts/social studies units." You might consider doing something like that as well.
Good luck! Any program would be lucky to have you.
