<p>Can anyone tell me about the music program at BU? My son is a HS junior sax player (also plays clarinet and some flute) who is considering a range of college music options - major, minor, or just performing in ensembles. Thanks.</p>
<p>Hi Mdndad, I’m a BU music alum, now in grad school elsewhere.
If your son decides he wants to be a performance major, BU may not be a good option for him, as there is no jazz major; classical saxophone is a fairly restrictive field of study! That said, the saxophone teacher, Kenneth Radnofsky, is excellent. If he wants a minor in music, however, it could be a really exciting place to be, as it’s one of the very few schools that allow a minor in performance to liberal arts students.</p>
<p>Mdndad, my child is a student in the School of Music at BU and is very happy there. As the previous poster stated, it is a classical program, no jazz. She loves it there I sent you a PM with more info.</p>
