Music Schools and Programs

does anyone know of any good music schools or schools with good preforming arts programs

Check out St. Olaf in Minnesota. It has highly respected programs in both areas. To be a competitive applicant, you would need to improve your ACT score to around 26.

check out Downbeat magazine for a list of the top 50 jazz programs in America. Many of them also have classical and other performing arts programs.

Furman University

If your like a musical genius, then Julliard, but Eastman is also a good music school. And UCLA has good performing arts I've heard

Curtis is for the best of the best. Full ride scholarship. It's the type of school people choose over Julliard if your in that category. Otherwise Indiana University, Colburn Institute, Julliard, Manhattan School of Music, Rice University, Eastman, San Francisco Music Conservatory, something along those lines.
