<p>Ah, yes, I see this problem in our future. Although my D will be classical voice, it will still be a challenge to arrange study abroad. I’ve been doing a lot of research on this.</p>
<p>Start early. Hopefully, your D is in her first year. She should see her school’s study abroad office and her music advisor. Here are my suggestions:</p>
<p>Save up general ed credits and take some of those abroad.</p>
<p>Plan ahead regarding possible language pre-requisites.</p>
<p>Look at countries whose culture has influenced our jazz music, ie, Brazil, Argentina, Caribbean countries, African countries such as Senegal, Ghana, or Spain, Ireland…</p>
<p>Think of cities where jazz music is really alive: maybe Berlin, Paris, Montreal, Amsterdam…Check out IES Amsterdam.</p>
<p>Look at these college websites for some ideas: Northwestern, Carnegie Mellon, Sarah Lawrence, Syracuse, NYU, Lawrence, Berklee…Berklee might be especially relevant for you.</p>
<p>Look at ethnomusicology course offerings. </p>
