Hey there.

I am currently a high school junior and I play flute and piccolo in the band. I don't know exactly how good I am, because I live in a small city with no private flute teachers of any kind. I never really had the oppurtunities people had that were living in cities. It would have been very unaffordable for my family to take me to a city for private lessons.

I have only made 2 accomplishments. In junior high school I was first chair flute in the UIL all-region band. This year, I auditioned for the 5A All-Region Band as a piccolo player and was ranked 3rd, but didn't make it since they only took 2.

Anyway, I actually do want to major in music education, and I'm wondering what school in Texas would be a good choice for this major.

Some schools I have considered are
- University of North Texas
- Texas Christian
- Texas Tech
- Texas State

Also, does anyone have any idea how tought the auditions are and whether or not these schools are a long shot for me?
