<p>Anyone applying to music schools for Organ? If so, which ones?</p>
<p>As part of our investigation of schools, we identified those with strong organ programs, however DS has applied in vocal performance. He has looked for a conservatory program where he has the flexibility to build his organ skills. Schools we looked at that you might consider include:</p>
<p>Oberlin
Eastman
McGill
Peabody
Westminster Choir College (don't be deceived by the voice emphasis, although you will need to develop choral skills, which maybe isn't such a bad thing for an organist)</p>
<p>ProOrgano,</p>
<p>You might check out the Longy School of Music in Cambridge, MA. Peter Sykes is a great teacher and you will get tons of personal attention. Boston is a great city and you will have a wealth of opportunities to perform and make some money.</p>
<p>Best,

<p>Westminster Choir College seems perfect. I think there are lots of opportunities for organists in the area too - while waiting for my D to audition there last year, I looked at the job board and there were lots of notices asking for organists. The voice teachers there are top notch too. The choral emphasis was a bit of a drawback for my D but voice majors do some ensemble work pretty much everywhere - it's just a matter of degree.</p>
<p>Rice has an Organ Performance major and a beautiful organ hall. I don't know anyone in the program though since DD is VP.</p>
<p>Great. Thanks for the recommendations. Oberlin as my top choice right now. I'm auditioning in February. We'll see what happens!!! :)</p>
