<p>I want to major in recording arts/music technology, and I'm pretty sure that these are the only schools that have good programs that don't require a music department instrument proficiency audition. If anyone has any other suggestions, i'd like them (i feel like i could use some more reach/matches). but anyway, i'd like my chances on the schools i've listed already, thanks.</p>
