The Hartt School is only a completely good place to go if you are a musical theater major.

The worst dept is the vocal dept as long as Ms. Levy is chair. Vocal MusEd will severely frustrate you if you as long as Geoffrey Reynolds remains. He’s thoroughly inept in classroom teaching. Ira Braus is a terrible teacher in the music history area, so do everything to avoid him.

In general, do NOT think of Hartt as a great music school. It may have once been, but it hasn’t been for a while. Lack of funding and leadership means this school won’t revive its rep anytime soon. If you can’t get accepted into Juilliard, Eastman, NEC, Peabody, Cleveland Institute, or the Curtis Institute, don’t waste your money on Hartt. Go to a regular University School of Music or Music Department.
