Puget Sound for Music?

Does anyone have opinions or experience regarding the music school at Puget Sound Thank you!

Every time I look it up, for some reason connected to this forum, I am impressed, and it does get mentioned here quite often,especially when people want to be on the West Coast, but sometimes in a national search. Sorry that is not much help but wanted to respond :slight_smile:

Their choirs are good but the singers that I have known who came out of there who applied to grad school had a lot of difficulty with the exams and had to take all of the “make-up” courses during their first year of the masters program. Be aware of this and look at the entire picture when you are looking at a school.

This doesn’t speak much to your particular interests as a vocal person, but when we visited UPS and heard their top band rehearse, we were very impressed. Great positive energy from the director, challenging repertoire and a wonderful, cohesive sound from the ensemble. I don’t have enough experience with UPS to comment on how strong a place it is for someone with serious professional aspirations, but for a kid like my son merely looking for a strong program with high quality ensembles, it very much fills the bill.
