Also---Duquesne University, Manhattan School of Music, U. of New Orleans, the New School in NY.
These are some of the schools that the #1 high school upright bass player in the country (as rated by Downbeat Magazine) is checking out as we speak. The young man of 17 (senior at the local high school) just returned from the Grammy's, where he jammed with Chick Corea, among other jazz greats, as a memeber of the Gibson/Baldwin Grammy HS Jazz Ensemble. These kids were among the elite few across the nation chosen by the International Assn. of Jazz Education to perform at the Grammy nominee reception, the pre-telecast awards show, the official Grammy post-party, various Hollywood nightclubs, USC--as well as attend the Grammy's live and record a CD. He is a SERIOUS musician, as your son sounds. Good luck!
Is this heaven?...
