SUNY Potsdam and Fredonia are amazing options for music ed, especially with an in-state price. Frankly, I think you’d have a really hard time topping those selections. But, if you’re interested in some other schools that might be closer and are likely to give generous merit aid to bring the price closer to the SUNYs, then you might want to look into these which seem to have higher percentages of music ed and music majors than other colleges in the area:
- College of Saint Rose
- Rider (NJ)
- Westminster (PA )
- Messiah (PA )
- Nazareth (NY)
- Roberts Wesleyan (NY)
And yes, I do feel as though I need to be pulling out rereading the gospels…
