What is a good college for Music Education around northern NJ?

fluteblue2 asked:

I’m currently a freshman in college majoring in music education. I’m having doubts about my current school, so I want to start looking into other colleges in case I decide that transferring is the right option for me.

What are some schools that meet as many of these as possible?:

-Must be no more than 3 hours from northern NJ (pretty much limits that to NJ, eastern PA, and southeastern NY)

-Must have a good music program, music ed specifically (Although I’ve improved quiet a bit in the last year since I auditioned, the schools I was accepted to last time were: The College of NJ, Lebanon Valley, Gettysburg College. I feel the last two were a little below my ability level)

-I would prefer a school that placed more focus on arts than liberal arts

-I originally didn’t want anything in a big city, but I’m opening up to the idea a little…I do live an hour from NYC

Thanks!

    There are a couple of very good schools in your search area which I can recommend.

    Rowan University, in Glassboro, New Jersey, has excellent performing ensembles available. Many members from the Philadelphia Orchestra are on staff at Rowan, as well as some very well-known commercial musicians.

    SUNY Purchase College, in Purchase, New York, is another very good choice. The Conservatory of Music has a very fine staff, with great performance opportunities. They offer a Bachelor of Music degree, which is more performance oriented.

    Best of luck to you!
