| The question you really want to ask is, "Who is the best teacher for my voice or instrument?" rather than "What music school is best?" If you can find a truly great teacher who works well with you as an individual, the place where they teach is a secondary concern at best. Ideally, you want to find someone that you would be happy to follow if they were to change schools a year before you graduate.
The schools that are rated highly receive those ratings because they have a lot of excellent teachers. Unfortunately, attending one of them does not guarantee that YOUR teacher will be excellent. Every one of the schools mentioned above has its stronger and weaker departments and no one of them can possibly be the best at everything. |
