<p>One of my kids graduated from Wesleyan a few years ago…now a professional musician in NYC. He left Wes after freshman year to study jazz at the New School. It was a great experience, but decided to go back to Wesleyan to finish his degree. The music program is Wes is excellent…plus you get to go to school with so many amazing, interesting students. He did spend a lot of time commuting between Middletown and NYC to play gigs…but it’s only a few hours. Anthony Braxton is a big draw and a strong influence on those students interested in composition.</p>
