Trust me on this, it's not like it is at IUP compared to most schools.

My daughter is going to audition at IUP. Her voice teacher got her undergrad there. I have heard it is good program. The vocal teachers seem to have good credentials. It has been known as THE party school in Pennsylvania. It is also very liberal (so I hear). This school is not at the top of her list, but it is a safety net. If they give her a great scholarship, and the teachers are good enough and don't ruin her voice, maybe it's not such a bad idea to save your bucks for grad school.

A former choir director of mine was a fairly recent IUP grad. I talked to him last year about schools for my D, a vocalist. He said the music school was good for orchestra instrumentalists and conductors, but he felt there were better places for singers. Based on that we didn't pursue it any further.

Thanks all, for your thoughts and opinions. Daughter will audition at IUP in a couple weeks and is applying to the Honors college as well.
