Have you checked out the new Bard conservatory program? You’d get a topnotch liberal arts education AND topnotch famous faculty from New York (Richard Goode, Melvin Chen, and Peter Serkin are going to be teaching piano!), and most importantly (and what you’d be much less likely to find at Swarthmore) a community of really serious musicians, both students and faculty.

Swarthmore is a great, great school. But honestly (and we did this search last year), I can name 10 topnotch liberal arts colleges with better music programs.

(P.S. Columbia and Julliard do have this thing on paper - but try to find someone who has actually done it!)
