Wash U. (St.L) for Music Performance?

<p>I've participated in a couple of discussion threads in which the question was raised about pursuing a B.Mus. in Music Performance at a top academic university. We frequenly heard about Northwestern, Oberlin, Rice, Michigan and Vanderbilt. Why no mention of Washington University in St. Louis? What does anyone know about performance degrees there - particularly in voice?</p>

<p>A friend of my son looked at it for violin and was not at all impressed. However, voice may be very different. But I have been interested in performing arts programs for a long time and WUSTL is never mentioned as being strong in performance for any area.</p>
