Did your son check both schools’ jazz trombone faculty? New School has a bigger program (but not many trombones) and it seems like less structured. NEC probably has a much smaller jazz program and it can be more structured. Some do well at a large school and some do better at a small school. Some 18-year-old jazz musicians do well in NYC but some aren’t quite ready yet.

Did you appeal New School and show NEC offer? If your son really REALLY wants to be in NYC and only $$ is an issue for you, you can ask New School if they can increase an offer. You still have a time until end of May 1st. Good luck!
