[edit] Rename?
Should we rename this page in "College and university schools of music" ?
[edit] "Notable" schools
If there is a section here of "notable" schools, it seems like it should contain a short list of schools that are notable, as it did before the previous edit. Simply linking to an enormous list that mentions any music school in existence is quite different. (and less useful, in my opinion) It would make good sense to avoid randomly generating the list of "notable" schools (unless there was extensive discussion here), so references to outside sources mentioning a school would be useful. Possibly an expansion could include sub-sections for schools that are notable for different things.--Grinik 21:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Unless there is some objective way to define which schools are "notable," any such listing will just digress into an argument over which school (or whose school) is better than another. It is more objective to categorize schools by location, size, student-faculty ratio, degrees offered, undergraduate vs. graduate programs, availability of specific area instructors (e.g., trombone), types of individual and ensemble programs available, access to a major orchestra, quality of faculty, etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.72.47.128 (talk) 01:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Any idea why they are called conservatories?
See title.
Because a conservatory is "a school giving instruction in one or more of the fine or dramatic arts; specifically, a school of music." (dictionary.com-Random House) Perhaps it derives from the fact that traditions such as art and music are saved and continued through the training of new students??
[edit] UDK
Why UDK redirects here if there is no mention of this acronym in the whole article? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.26.124.42 (talk) 18:48, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
