<p>I live in NY. Wondering if anyone can suggest good schools for music education.
THANKS!</p>
<p>SUNY Potsdam (Crane School of Music) is very good for music ed and the tuition is low, particularly since you would be in-state.</p>
<p>Would be a lot more expsensive than a SUNY, but Ithaca has a good program.</p>
<p>Ithaca's music ed job placement rate is 100% (according to the college). D was accepted there for Fall'09 but has more auditions before making a decision.</p>
<p>Crane is the best value. However, NYS budget cuts will greatly affect all SUNYs over the next several years.</p>
<p>If you are willing to include Pittsburgh in your definition of Northeast, put Duquesne on the list. They also boast 100% placement rate for the past few years.</p>

<p>The net is cast a bit wider than the NE, but it gives you a good overview. </p>
<p>There are also a few additional links within the first thread with some prior music ed threads as well.</p>
<p>Consider SUNY Fredonia as an additional option as well as Potsdam/Crane.
Hartt's program is excellent as well.</p>
<p>Hofstra has a very strong reputation for education, generally. It has a beautiful new music building and the emphasis of the music program is music education.</p>
