<p>Western Michigan University is home to the best collegiate vocal jazz program in the world, Gold Company, or how it is seen as others. For more info, Gold</a> Company, Collegiate Vocal Jazz Program.</p>
<p>I'm surprised no one has mentioned Western yet.</p>
<p>jeremybeach--check on UMass Amherst for vocal jazz. I heard that their voice department is good from a girl vocalist on her audition circuit last year when we were touring schools. And you have all the colleges in the 5-college Consortium from which to draw for teachers, classes and performance opportunities, which I think is quite an asset.</p>
<p>We have a good friend studying jazz voice at University of North Texas. It was the only school she applied to - only school that had the program she wanted. Fortunately she got in! (Don't think the family knows/knew how risky that was.)</p>
