Conservatory or University

<p>We’ve posted often about composition programs in universities - I’m surprised you say there isn’t much info. I suggest you do some more searches and read through all the composition threads. There are many many many opportunities to study music composition out there at universities and liberal arts colleges, outside of the big well-known music schools. Where are you located, how much can you afford, what kind of composition are you interested in (classical, commercial, film) and what style of composition within that field are you interested in, what kind of school do you want (big, small, rural, urban etc.), what kind of peers are you looking for, what level of academics, how good are your grades/scores, and how much experience do you have as a composer? Every one of the answers to these questions will help narrow your search from literally hundreds of programs.</p>
