<p>I’m going to the university of Iowa this fall on sholarship for a major in piano performance, there is an excellent piano teacher there. </p>
<p>Another teacher to look into, is Hans boepple, he teaches at Santa Clara University. There were about 50 names of great teachers that my current piano teacher listed off, but I can’t remember what all of them were. </p>
<p>The top music Schools:
Curtis, Eastman, Julliard, Jacob’s school of music (University of Indiana, Bloomington), Cleveland institute of music, Yale (although they don’t do undergrad), Peabody, Stony Brook. </p>
<p>It depends on your ability. Have you won any major competitions? what’s your repertoire? how much do you practice? what connections does your teacher have?
I have placed first in a few out of state competitions and almost all of the major local competitions, I am currently practicing 4-6 hours each day (during school it was more like 3-5), and my piano teacher knows a lot of teachers </p>
<p>Just my advice, undergrad it is important to find a great teacher, it’s not as important to go to a big name school, that can be saved for your graduate degree. It is important to find a place where you can go there on almost a full ride scholarship. That is of course if money is an issue.</p>
