I wanna be a veteran musician when i grow up. we wish to go to song school. What have been a “ivy league” schools of music? in alternative words, wat have been those couple of schools which have been a most appropriate for song or a arts?

however, i dont only wish to sense how to perform music, i wish to sense about a commercial operation of it too, similar to producing, copyrighting, offered cds, using a studio, etc… what have been a most appropriate schools for that?

and have been there song schools which learn both behaving humanities as well as a commercial operation of music? if so, wat have been a most appropriate schools for that?

    GREAT question!! Check out Julliard. It is probably the best music school in the nation. If you are interested in performing arts (theater arts) and don’t mind intense competition, check out University of Michigan and New York University. These schools should have great business programs as well.

    Best of luck.

    I would say Julliard, or Berkeley are the best two in the country for music in general. I think it’s possible to learn about the business of it as well in any music oriented institution. After all, I doubt they’d want you to just perform and not learn the business.

    Julliard for classical.

    Mannes for classical.

    Berklee for everything else (guitar, performance, business, etc).

    Berklee’s your best bet! :-)
