<p>Im interested in studying jazz vibraphone, but im having a lot of difficulty in finding decent schools. In my searching ive been finding schools that allow you to major in "jazz vibraphone," but the percussion teachers arent even vibraphonists. This has been making me very confused.</p>
<p>I know about berklee, and i know about manhattan, but can anyone tell me of any other good jazz schools they know of that have a good jazz vibraphone program/teacher?</p>
<p>You might want to consider David Hagedorn at St. Olaf.</p>

<p>I know there are some great Vibe players at Oberlin, and they’re in demand. I don’t know who the applied teacher is, but I would check it out there.</p>
<p>Both Mark Ford (marimba) and Ed Smith (vibraphone) at the University of North Texas are excellent.</p>
