<p>Have you looked at the University of Rochester, which includes the Eastman School of Music? They have a “Take Five” program where the fifth year is free. In addition to that, there are no distribution or core requirements except for freshman English, so it frees him up to take the courses that he wants. I know a young lady who double majored in vocal performance at Eastman and another major that I don’t remember at Rochester. Even if he does not audition successfully at Eastman, he could still attend Rochester, take lots of performance and other music classes at Eastman, give a recital, join ensembles, and have a great experience no matter what his major is.</p>
