Watch with me

Watch with me while this high school student visits four different choral programs in search of the perfect place.


Here's the plan:
804 miles. 5 states. 4 cities. 

Choral music education is a niche, admittedly– there are only around forty choral music ed undergrads at Indiana, a school of almost 40,000. They don’t even make up five percent of the music school population. And that’s the case everywhere. Northwestern admits fewer than ten new music ed undergrads every year. But I’ll have more on what I see to be the pros and cons of this major soon.

And that’s not all. Over the next few days, I’ll post my reflections on each of the schools, and how I feel about all their programs. I’ll also delve into how it seems like these music education programs break down, and what qualities (it seems to me) are good to look for in a choral music ed program.
I wonder if the guy follows ChoralNet.
