What art colleges lean towards conservatories, or vice versa?
I am a musician who wants to major in music theory. All the conservatories ask for talent performers, which I am not. I am a good composer and would love to have a career in theory (like a teacher). Of the art colleges I have looked at, some lack the music oreintated edge conservatories have.
By art college, I mean liberal art college.
Try an education school that also has a strong music program. I know that finding out which schools have strong music programs can be difficult, but peruse their sites, and, even if you don’t know the band director at your school very well, ask him or her about it, or just ask some other people in your school who are involved in the music department and who might be thinking about majoring in music. I don’t know what area of the country you’re from, but Miami University in Ohio is good, as well as Wright State. If you’re really good, consider looking in Texas or at the University of Michigan. There’s always Bowling Green or Ohio University as well.
