<p>Do any of you know if Rice university's Shepherd School of Music is great for vocal music?</p>
<p>Well, the Shepherd School is one of the top two-three music schools in the country, so I'm sure their vocal music program is wonderful. If you get a chance to visit Rice, you should attend a concert at the Shepherd School (the schedule is on the website). All of the concerts are free to students, so I'm sure they would let in or cut a good deal for visiting students as well.</p>
<p>the music school is world famous.</p>
<p>nick- My daughter is a junior vocal performance major at Rice. She chose it over many fine schools (conservatories and universities). She has had a great experience so far and is getting ready for her junior recital. There are many performance opportunities for undergraduates, since it is a small program. The voice faculty is superb. If you want to get in touch with her, send me a PM.</p>
