I was wondering what some of the better known colleges that offer jazz pedagogy, or at least music education as a graduate degree. I know Eastman School of Music offers music ed, but i am unsure of their reputation.

ummm are you kidding? eastman is a good school. if you're in there, you're doing well.

no, i'm not in there. actually i'm about to start college as a jazz studies major. i'm just pondering the future.

james,

I'm just finishing at the University of North Texas, and their new jazz studies master's degree plans have the options of performance, composition/arranging, or pedagogy as emphases. Check it out, it's got a first-rate program and the tuition is nothing compared to any of the private schools it competes with.
