<p>Hi, does anyone know of any good college programs that offer a degree in contemporary music as compared to classical? I do know of Berkelee College of Music in Boston but it seem like their tuition is much higher than what I would get in a state school. Does anyone have any suggestions?</p>
<p>Berklee's contemporary and commercial emphasis on music is a rarity, and would probably be especially so at state schools. You might want to check out SUNY-Purchase College's Conservatory of Music and see if that's close.</p>
<p>There is a music major forum in which you will get more responses, I think. Good luck!</p>
