Message: [QUOTE="Capt. Tuttle, post: 4640424, member: 191"] Had a cousin who was a music major (tuba) there, did ROTC, then the Army band, which allowed him to see the world. Beyond that, I got nothing. I will ask my neighbor, who is a music professor at Oswego. I do know that the Crane School of Music at Potsdam is supposed to be very good. I think Fredonia also has a good program. SU was very generous (full tuition) to another cousin, but he played bassoon. (PSU also offered full tuition.) Update: neighbor got right back to me: “Ithaca has a very good school of music, so a good choice. Cheaper, but still quite good is SUNY Fredonia. Top music schools in NY are Julliard and Eastman School of Music, but highly competitive to get in. Ithaca is awesome!” (Note: neighbor got her PhD at Cincinnati Conservatory of Music. Her mother sang for the Metropolitan Opera Company. She has a good perspective on this type of thing.) Good luck to your son (and you). [/QUOTE]
