<p>Mercymom - there are a lot of schools - many second or third tier, granted, that will give small scholarships for voice, stipends really, but every little bit helps. Men are in more demand, tenors are precious. Lorelie is the expert on this, but if my son were a tenor and interested in singing, I would encourage a music minor, because it could turn into a part time job for life, especially if he loves it.
A wonderful thing about college music is that even at schools that aren’t known for their programs, there are still individually good groups to participate in, because the kids that are in those groups love to sing, even if they aren’t majors - these are the schools that are more likely to have a little money for choir members.
If he’s serious - St. Olaf’s, Westminster, SMU, Lawrence - these places produce a lot of traditional church musicians/choir directors.</p>
