<p>My D is looking for a liberal arts school with a strong music program. She’s considering a double major that would include music. She is at a public high school that is a music academy with a strong academic program as well. She’s a vocalist and is singing in one of the top high school vocal jazz ensembles in the country. She loves jazz but is also extremely interested in folk/bluegrass/American roots music. Plays guitar and banjo. Interested in violin (fiddle). Although we live in LA she seems to be drawn to schools in the South. She’ll have AP Music under her belt and I believe she is vocally strong enough to audition into a lot of excellent schools. Academics are strong but not top of the heap. She could go on to have a performing career akin to someone like Norah Jones (if she’s that lucky) but she wants a real college experience so sending her to a place like Berklee doesn’t make sense.</p>
<p>Any ideas?</p>
