I’m a teacher and I have a music major son (jazz studies/guitar Fall '23 UNT). From the teacher perspective, I did my education in state and was able to start teaching right at 22yo…A lot of my out of state peers had to come back and get certified in state. MANY of the music teachers went out of state for music degrees and came cack to do a Master’s degree in state. My son has no interest in teaching or staying in CT so he looked out of state and to programs strong in jazz studies/performance. We had a pool of about 10 schools to start, applied to 5, and only wound up auditioning at 3…he got into his first choice and chose not to audition at the remaining 2. On the other hand, he has friends who applied to and auditioned at 15…we were exhausted by the end so I imagine 15 is ALOT! Good luck!
