On this note – I will be entering a master’s program in music composition in the fall, and the choice is between a highly regarded specialist school within a larger university (The Aaron Copland School of Music at Queens College CUNY) and an internationally renowned research university (University of Edinburgh-- yes, in Scotland). My plan is to go on to a PhD, so if anyone has any insight as to which might be better prep and perhaps “look” better, I’m all ears (on the latter point, I realize it’s not so much where you go but what you do, but still…).
I currently have a Bachelor’s and a JD (Berklee College of Music and Seattle University School of Law respectively). Thanks!
