Hi Nicki,

I seem to recall from some earlier postings that you are from somewherer in the Midwest, right? If so, any of the larger as well as older state universities in most states have very good music education. Many of the ones that I will mention were originally what was called a normal school and specialized in teacher training. That tradition continues and music education is no exception.

I got a my BSEd. in Music Ed. from Ohio University and advaced degrees from Kent State and BGSU. All of these schools have excellent music education programs. The Ohio State University, Akron, Youngstown, and Miami of Ohio are all good as well. All have excellent performing groups as a bonus; in many cases, there are multiple choices in each area.

In the Hoosier state, Indiana U, Ball State, Indiana State, and others are very similar; just pick the size school you feel most comfortable in. In Illinois, U of I, Southern Illinois, and N. Illinois should provide like opportunities.

I know there are many schools that I have missed here and there is no intent to dismiss any other fine institutions as not acceptable. I just happen to know more about the particular schools I have mentioned.

Music education with good solid musical performance ensembles coupled with thorough grounding on a major instrument is what these schools offer. I have heard that there might be an acceptable school or two even in the state of Michigan (go Bucks!).
