robinjessome Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 What other schools on the East coast are great schools for composition? It depends what you're writing. I know the jazz faculty, but they're also fantastic schools of music, period.: Berklee New England Conservatory (Bob Brookmeyer! Ken Schaphorst!) The New School Manhattan School of Music Eastman (Bill Dobbins!) ...just a few of the biggies. Don't limit your scope to just well-known school though, find a professor and environment that works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 YOU'RE ALL FORGETTING OBERLIN! One of the BEST conservatories in the country, if not the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Dunn-Rankin Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 No, really, it is. Certainly not THE best, but one of. I know for a fact it has the world's best harp program, and until the professor died, the foremost oboe program. Its composition program is extremely well-known in New Music circles, and its graduates are all very successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PianoBeast10489 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Oberlin is definitely one of the top in the world, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
