They are private—I was just picking nits with the "only" music school considered on par. Those other schools are private, and maybe only musicphiles really know about them, but they are definitely on a par with Jullard, Jacobs and some other schools.

To be honest, I think Julliard is probably the only national music school non-musicphiles know period. Otherwise, as with many disciplines, people know what's good in their state or region.

Like I said, definitely a tangent.

This.

I grew up in New England, so if you asked me about good music schools, I would probably name Berklee and New England Conservatory (in addition to the obvious; Julliard).

I didn't even know IU had a music program.

One of my former choir directors did some of his post graduate work there because they have available an emphasis on organ music. That is something not available in every music program.
