<p>I want to know which schools provide the best program for alto/tenor saxophone performance and jazz studies. I've heard good things about UCSB, USC, UCLA, and UCSC, but i just wanted more opinions.</p>
<p>I’m not real familiar with California, but I wonder if there wouldn’t be something in one of the Claremont colleges.</p>
<p>You should post this in the music major forum, since people there will have had much more experience.</p>
<p>UCLA and USC would be your top choices. You might want to check out CS Long Beach . <a href=“http://www.csulb.edu/depts/music/brass/brass.html[/url]”>http://www.csulb.edu/depts/music/brass/brass.html</a> The Claremont colleges do not have much in the way of music. And yes…search the Music Majors forum. [Music</a> Major - College Confidential](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/music-major/]Music”>Music Major - College Confidential Forums)</p>
<p>Have you also looked into Chapman to see if they have what you’re looking for?</p>
<p>If you are dedicated, try some conservatory of musics, like this one</p>
<p>[-</a> San Francisco Conservatory Of Music -](<a href=“http://www.sfcm.edu/prospective/prospective.aspx]-”>http://www.sfcm.edu/prospective/prospective.aspx)</p>
<p>You will receive world class one on one instructions.</p>
<p>SF Conservatory does not offer a saxophone performance major nor do they have a jazz studies program.</p>
