<p>To put the question another way, is he interested in a BM degree at a conservatory/music school, or a BA degree at a college/university? With the emphasis on academic talent and interest in your post, I am thinking the latter, but making that clear will help you get more information, I think.</p>
<p>He is still only a sophomore, so this may not be clear yet. My daughter applied to both conservatories and college programs, and finally decided in late April of senior year. I think it helps to give him time to develop for another year or even two, and things will be clearer for him.</p>
<p>I can recommend a good book, that I recommend often on CC: “Creative Colleges,” which lists schools with good programs in music, visual art, dance, theater, and writing. I got it on Amazon.</p>
