You probably did like me - and did some web searches - and there’s USC - and you’re not getting in there based on the description. Others seem to be midwest, NE, and south. MTSU is strong and not hard to get into…Belmont as well…both in the Nashville area.
You may look into a CC and transfer?
You might look into the music programs Redlands and CSU Fullerton but not sure they are what you’re looking for. Chapman too.
Good luck.
