@compmom, rest assured we’ve been focusing exclusively on schools where non-B.M. seekers have full access to all of the musical offerings at the school. That’s why places like Oberlin, and, frankly, Rochester are not on his list. While there may be plenty of opportunity to take composition classes at Eastman for UR kids, I’m under the impression that access to ensembles and private lessons with faculty for performers is a different story.
