I can offer a little input here, although only for Hamilton. My son is a new freshman there, and although not majoring in music, the majority of his extracurriculars are music oriented. He plays in a brass ensemble and the jazz band, and is taking private trumpet lessons. The feedback from him is that both the teaching and playing caliber is high. In fact, his jazz band director, Doc Woods, has just been nominated (by an ex-student) for a Grammy in Excellence of Musical Instruction. If he wins remains to be seen, but as they say, it is an honor just to be nominated.
