<p>I'm currently a junior in high school, I play flute, and I wish to pursue it in college. My teacher gave me a list of colleges, many of which I have eliminated, but i still have 18 colleges/conservatories on my list, and I am reluctant to eliminate any because at the moment I am very unsure as to what I can get into. I am not a protege or anything like that, but I'm willing to practice as much as I have to to get the best school I can. So heres the list, in a general (some areas of the list are just big amorphous blobs) order from best to back-ups:
MSM
Mannes (The New School)
Aaron Copland (CUNY Queens)
The Hartt School
Peabody Institute (John Hopkins)
The Boston Conservatory
New England Conservatory
Boston University
Temple University
University of Rochester
John J. Cali School of Music (Montclair)
Long Island University - C.W. Post
Rutgers
Brooklyn College (CUNY)
Ithaca
SUNY Purchase
SUNY Binghamton
SUNY Buffalo</p>
<p>If you want to study Music as a major, change University of Rochester to the Eastman School of Music (Eastman is Rochester’s Music school and you apply directly to Eastman). You probably want to remove SUNY Binghamton and Buffalo and add SUNY Fredonia and SUNY Potsdam (Crane School of Music).</p>
<p>Where do you live? How far are you willing to travel? Many music performance students choose a school because they like the teacher/studio in that school. Have you had any experiences with any of the teachers at these schools?</p>
<p>One thing to consider is doing a summer camp/classes. I know of one that is still accepting applications…the Julius Baker Masterclass in CT. It is a weeklong class. The nice thing is that there will be 6-7 flute teachers from some of the best schools there. You will have a chance to meet them and see their teaching technique. Another one is ARIA boot camp. You can look up both on the web.</p>

<p>Hey there,</p>
<p>I think that the most effective way to shorten down the list is considering the following:</p>
<p>The teacher at the school
Cost
Distance
The quality of the music program (some schools have stronger departments than others, such as voice, jazz, classical, and even down to strings/winds)
Competitiveness</p>
<p>There might be other things that you can consider, but I think those four are the musts for choosing music schools.
Also, make a list of schools that are less/more competitive. However, you must keep in mind that there is no such thing as a “safety school” in music schools. You can never guarantee an acceptance at any school… crazy (and often random) things can happen in the admissions process.</p>
<p>For example, Eastman, MSM, and NEC are definitely very competitive. SUNY Purchase is not up there but is still very competitive (Tara O’connor’s the only flute teacher there, and she is amazing. She probably only accepts only a few people). Temple, BU, and Hartt is… still competitive… but I think that you can certainly make those schools if you try.</p>
<p>I strongly recommend the Hartt School. I know a lot about this place, and I think you’ll really love it there. Greig Shearer is one of the flute professors, and he is fantastic. He genuinely wants the best for his students and he’s such a wonderful person. The other flute professor (Janet Arms) is a great teacher as well.
The flute studio at Hartt is also a very friendly environment, and not competitive at all (which is a rare thing for flute players). Everyone supports each other.
The music program in general is really great, such as the wind ensemble and the orchestra.</p>
<p>Another thing: if you get a chance to, you need to take sample lessons with the teachers that you’re interested in, and visit the schools they’re at.</p>
<p>I hope this helped!</p>
<p>Also, you can decide on a few “must haves” and eleminate any schools without them. Like a particular degree specialty (performanc, composition, education, theory, etc), or a particular activity. Like if you are a world champion tiddly wink player, you may only want to go to schools with a competitive tiddly wink team. </p>
<p>For my son, marching band was a “must have” and that eleminated a heck of a lot schools for him.</p>
<p>As others have said, there are no ‘easy’ admits or safeties in music, people have gotten accepted to places like Curtis and rejected by ‘lesser’ programs…I think people have given you a good list of criteria, important ones. Couple of things I am going to throw in:</p>
<p>1)Do some research at the schools you are talking about with the teachers, even better, if you can, visit the schools and do sample lessons with the teachers. This is important. because you might find, as a hypothetical example, that the flute teacher who has openings at one school is someone you find you couldn’t work with, whereas the teacher at another place clicked with you…very, very important, good schools have bad teachers (or rather, teachers that may not work for you), ‘lesser’ schools may have a teacher that makes you fly.</p>
<p>2)I would recommend contacting the admissions department for the schools you think likely, and ask them how many slots they expect for the year you would be auditioning (I would assume you would be auditioning for fall term of 2012, if you are a junior now) or find out on average how many slots they will have. Flute is a very, very competitive instrument and they tend not to admit a lot in many schools, for example it is no uncommon that a school may have 1 opening, and that covers undergrad and grad school, or maybe even 0. Violin is competitive as hell, and they usually admit in multiples of 10’s (depending on the school, Curtis wouldn’t be in that league), and though of course there are a lot of people auditioning, when you have only 1 slot you can easily end up having 20 or 30 kids going for one slot in flute. It is a way of knowing the score with any of the schools.</p>
<p>3)I don’t know your teacher or how "tuned into’ the current music scene he./she is, but I also suggest you could get an assessment from a high level music teacher if you don’t feel your teacher may know.</p>
<p>Thanks for telling me about the direct application, and Binghamton and Buffalo are there just in case I don’t get into any school I want. I probably shouldn’t have included them in this post, sorry about that.</p>

I have yet to actually meet any of the teachers, but there are certain ones I have heard recordings of and I love. I’m willing to go somewhere close to New York (I live on Staten Island), but I already pretty much eliminated those that are far away. Thanks fo the tip on the summer programs, I’ll see if I have time this summer.</p>

Thank you so much! This makes finding a program so much easier.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>A lot of the deadlines may well have come and gone. Apps for summer can be out as early as the prior fall. Some may still be open, but you have to look.</p>
<p>Seems so… I found a few that are still open, I just have to make a cd soon (yikes). I’ll try my best anyhow.</p>
<p>I noticed you do not have Indiana University on your list. Its Jacobs School of Music is prestigious. It’s most known for it’s performance program. Look at it this way, you can pursue flute, but being at a thorough university, you can choose from many other avenues should you change your direction. I’d look into it - [Indiana</a> University Bloomington](<a href=“http://www.iub.edu%5DIndiana”>http://www.iub.edu)</p>
<p>Thanks for the tip, but I’m not going to apply. I’ve decided for sure that I’m going to try and stay closer to New York.</p>
