I’m a high school senior looking for suggestions on schools with good music ed programs. I’m probably not going to be accepted into anything competitive such as Northwestern or Eastman so I’m looking for not as competitive schools that I’ll have a chance in, maybe schools that would be classified as tier two/three (seen these terms used when describing music schools but not exactly sure what schools fall into where except for tier one being some of the most competitive schools)? I’ve started building a list already but I would like some more recommendations just in case. I welcome any and all suggestions!
Start with the schools in the state where you plan to teach.
Ask school music teachers in your state where they went to college. There are many good schools for music Ed.
Northern Arizona University produces excellent music educators
Luther College in Iowa is another excellent school

What are your price constraints?
Agree with location, since you may be offered a job where you have interned.

As an example of the type of school that may meet your criteria, consider SUNY–Geneseo.

Adding…if you attend a music education program in the state in which you hope to teach, you will likely fulfill all of the requirements for certification in that state as part of your schooling.
