Studying music at Smith

<p>How is studying music––particularly theory and composition––at Smith? What about theory/comp at the other Consortium schools?</p>

<p>My d. is currently a grad. student in Musicology/Italian Renaissance Studies at Princeton. At Smith, she was a composition major (and won the graduation composition award.) The music department was both excellent and large, and composition was supplemented by a fine graduate program at UMass. (The smaller schools in the area didn’t have much - one well-known composer at Amherst had just retired), and Smith imported students from those schools.)</p>
