Jdvn1 said:What sort of music do you want to compose? Austin has a good music scene, but if I'm not mistaken it's rather narrow in variety. Mostly jazz, IIRC.
I have a friend there who plays trumpet for UT, and he likes it a lot Also, I'm in Texas, so I'm biased when I say I prefer Austin. I hear Illinois is good, though, and is probably closer to a bigger city.
the idea is going somewhere that can give me the chance to widen my studies towards the classical direction. for some reason, my tutor believes that going to france to study classical music is a bad idea (mostly because he says they are too focused into that to understand why somebody from a rock/ jazz/ avant garde background wants to study classical).
i assume that one can find jazz nearly everywhere in US. from the UT website it looks like there's also a lot of classical music studying going on...
