Well…I would pick U of North Texas. They do have a fine orchestra as well as their very well known Jazz bands. Has your son spoken to anyone there regarding his desire to beef up his jazz playing while also continuing to play classical trumpet? If not…I would suggest you do so.

I would say…for most performance majors, the private teacher is a very important component to the college selection process. My son applied to both UNT and Peabody and was accepted to both programs. The trumpet teachers at both schools were very high on his list. I’ll send you a PM regarding this.

So glad to FINALLY see another trumpet acceptance on this board. Lots of flutes and singers…not so many brass players this year!!
