My son emailed music department heads of the LACs that he was interested in. They gave him info on who to talk with and he even took sample lessons with several of them. He had a really cool two hour lesson with the head of jazz music at Hamilton. I will forever be grateful to the professor because he encouraged my son to read poetry – it was great.

Have your son reach out to the music departments and see if he can visit when on campus. Also as mentioned, make sure he creates a really solid music supplement.

If he does apply to a school with a conservatory find out what opportunities are available for non-conservatory students.
