It’s clear you think that a conservatory is the best place for students wanting to go into composition. However, I am just starting to pursue an interest in composition, so I don’t really have much of a portfolio, so I wouldn’t be able to get into any good conservatories (at least in my opinion). I have played piano for 10 years but even my performance resume is probably not nifty enough to get me into a conservatory. So, my question is what top city-based universities or liberal arts colleges (non-conservatory) do you think have better composition programs?
