<p>"I want to find the best colleges for vocal/classical music."</p>
<p>Maybe from this list:
List</a> of colleges and university schools of music in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia</p>
<p>Head on over to the Music Majors forum and you will get a wealth of information and helpful people.
[Music</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/]Music”>Music Major - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>My opinion for vocal - Cincinnati, Eastman, Juilliard, Boston Conservatory, Peabody, Curtis</p>
<p>More general classical - add Oberlin</p>
<p>The music forum is the best place to ask about this.</p>
<p>You mention “college”, but you want to figure out if your child wants college, conservatory or both. That means a choice between a BA or BM, or a combination of the two.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad listed conservatories. (I would add New England Conservatory, Manhattan School of Music, McGill, and Westminster Choir College.)</p>
<p>[Double</a> Degrees | Peabody Conservatory](<a href=“http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/conservatory/admissions/tips/doubledegree.html]Double”>http://www.peabody.jhu.edu/conservatory/admissions/tips/doubledegree.html)</p>
<p>I like a book entitled “Creative Colleges,” which I bought online. It has a list of all good music programs in colleges and conservatories in the US.</p>
<p>Vocal performance study involves special concerns best answered by those who have been there, on the music forum. Just go to “discussion home” and click on “music major” under “majors.”</p>
<p>I would also add SUNY Purchase to the group.</p>

<li>look for studio openings/studio teacher fit/size of studio/undergrad opportunities***
realize teachers do sometimes move</li>
<li>look at Music Major section on CCi – very helpful</li>
