Go to school in the state(s) you want to teach in for the cheapest price available! Teachers in general do not make much, even in the NE states so you want to do it without loans if you can. We live in NY and my son chose 5 schools, each in states he would be happy teaching in (1 in NY, 2 in PA, 1 in CT, 1 in MA). He auditioned at all 5 on his main instrument and also auditioned at 2 of them in Voice as he is equally good in both but would choose band/instrumental if forced to choose. He has gotten into 4/5 (the last one he should hear from within the next 10 days). 5 was just the right amount, but he wishes he had cut one that he didn’t feel passionate about in the beginning. They ended up being the most expensive anyway!
