@Musicamusica - thanks for reminding me of the Claremont Colleges. You’d think I’d remember since my older S went to Claremont McKenna and took lessons there (through Pomona & rented an instrument - as he was learning something new,) and his best friend at Pitzer double majored with Music, and his roommate formed a band. There’s lots of music in the 5C’s, and some great adjunct faculty. Equal access from all five of the colleges, and the ensembles open to all the students.
