A friend of my grandsons is a senior in high school. He played clarinet
quite well, but had to have surgery on his hand. His index and middle
fingers now doesn't bend right. He took up trumpet, and has become fairly
proficient on it. (He made first chair in clinic band last year. Following
one surgery last year, he played the trumpet left handed.)

He is interested in music as a major, but his interest is in composition.
He's looking for a school that has a good composition teacher(s) and as
well, music industry (recording studio, management, etc.). Area, by
preference, first of all, the southeast, (the family is moving somewhere
close to Jacksonville after this school term) then spreading outward from
there.

Thanks, in advance, for suggestions. I'll gather them and pass them on to
him.
