This was going to be my suggestion, along with Shenandoah University. |

| Catholic U. has a music ed option |
It's complete crap, but the others I know are Curtis, Julliard and Peabody, so... maybe it's OK for the things OP's son is looking for. |
Currently, it doesn’t. |
You can only name 4 music Ed programs, 3 of which you are wrong about, so you came here to give advice? |
Please, enlighten us as to what I am wrong about. |
DP. As far as I know, conservatories such as Curtis, Julliard, and Peabody, do not have music education programs, only performance related programs. |
Curtis, and Julliard don't offer undergraduate music ed degrees. Catholic's program is closed to new applicants. On your list only Peabody has a program that is continuing. I am a little skeptical how you know a program is "complete crap" without knowing that it's currently closed to new applicants. |
| Ask on College Confidential's music major forum. You'll get more informed--and polite--answers. Music majors absolutely need safeties, and you are smart to think about it. |
| Howard University offers a music education program. |
It does, and it's on our list, but it's auditioned based so not a safety. -- OP |
Correct. See: VCUArts. |
| +1 to all the Shenandoah University recommendations. It’s close by (Winchester), and had an incredible music program. A family member went there and made some of their closest friends. |
