When Rice University opened it was tuition free. They charge tuition these days, but they still have a large endowment and are VERY generous with scholarships.
And, of course, they have Michael Webster . . .

Well it seems to me that its now a two horse race in terms of free tuition and great teacher. Curtis and Colburn (in LA). Either way, you get a great education and a great teacher. But you have to get in. Many are called but few are chosen.

"Well it seems to me that its now a two horse race in terms of free tuition and great teacher. Curtis and Colburn (in LA)."
In terms of free tuition/great teacher I would say it is a three-horse race.
Yale School of Music is now free and David Shifrin is the teacher there.

I do agree with you Simon, however, I believe the discussion was for undergraduate degrees. The free program at Yale, as I understand it, is for the graduate program.
If you include graduate programs, several schools are now offering quite generous tuition free stipends, including my alma mater Northwestern. If accepted into their DMA program, there is no cost.
Many other schools have generous stipends for humanities grad students as they are realizing that students who graduate from these programs incur a tremendous amount of debt that then becomes an issue as they make career and life decisions.
My note was made regarding tuition-free undergraduate programs and the track record of the teachers that teach there.

You are right. I gave the article a quick, cursory read and missed the undergraduate slant.
"If accepted into their DMA program, there is no cost."
It used to be the case that, at least in Canada, a university that attracted a DMA student received quite a bit of money from the government (at one point $20,000 CDN per DMA student).
If this is remotely the case these days, a student should not have to pay much, if anything, to do a DMA.
When I did my DMA at Yale it cost $1000 in administrative fees.

Any school can be potentially free if you're good enough!
