Like many people, I love music. But, I'm not exactly at the skill where I can make money by playing. So, I'm deciding to double major in music and something else. In your opionion, what are the best Universities that have great music programs and other majors that are highly respectable as well? I know places like Yale, Northwestern, and boston. Another choice could be Rocester for other major and Eastman for music. Feel free to tell me!
I thought eastman was a conservatory. what do you guys think of it? I have thought of applying there.boliver
I hear that UT and USC have great programs, but seeing that I live in TX and UT did beat the mighty Trojans last night, I am forced to put UT ahead of USC.

Quiet you. Don't spread that shameful news. Doesn't Howard Na study in Texas?
Eastman's a great school, unfortunately Crapchester sucks.

I've heard that NewsWeek tends to rank Indiana University #1 above Juilliard and Curtis in general as a school of music. Other good universities for music include Michigan-Ann Arbor, Northwestern University, and University of Illinois.
dear koji, why does crapchester suck?
Boris Berman is at Yale. and he's a good pianist. so isn't yale a good place for the piano, especially as a secondary subject?
Good point. The quality of your education is directly related to who you study with, and Boris Berman is an awesome teacher and great pianist.
Yale is a highly academic school. Besides, if you want to forget how to play piano along with getting some weird ideas about music, you can apply straight to Mr. Berman's studio.
To be sure, I was never Mr. Berman's student, so my assessment of him is soley based on reading his book and hearing his recordings. Sounds kind of discouraging for BM-minded pianists to know that they wouldn't likely be studying with a professor if they go to Yale...
