Music colleges/universities that have good music programs?

<p>I'm interested in pursuing a career in opera, vocal performance, piano performance and/or music education. Are there any colleges/universities that have good programs? Any suggestions and views would be very helpful!
*also schools with scholarships would be helpful also! :)</p>

<p>You might want to post your query over in the music majors area of this forum. LOTS of knowledgeable folks there.</p>

<p>What about the Cleveland Conservatory? I have a friend whose daughter earned a degree in violin performance and loved it. If you want southern liberal arts school, check out Furman, which according to friends’ kids, have a 'conservatory" level program. I do know several voice majors who have been there or are there and love it.</p>

<p>Just an FYI…you will probably have to pick ONE of the above. At most places, you have to have one concentration in the music department…not four…or two.</p>

<p>Would you mean the Cleveland Institute of Music (CIM)?</p>

<p>I’m interested in colleges that have a combination of two of any of my interests or colleges that have strong programs in any of my interests :)</p>
