Hi all, I have a friend in my music club whose son (a rising junior) is starting to look at schools for contemporary guitar performance and/or music industry business. I told him to go out on College Confidential! However, that said, I told him I would ask the experts on here about schools and professors. I did a little looking around on here and saw Belmont, Middle Tennessee, Berklee and USC. I look forward to your sage advice. The good news is that he is NOT a rising senior and not in panic mode. I also suggested that he start looking now for a great summer program where some of these teachers might be available. He is thinking about visiting Middle TN State in Murfreesboro and Belmont in Nashville in October. Apparently there is a college fair for performing arts students the same weekend he has fall break.
