Hi everyone,

my university in France, Paris, permits me to go 1 year in exchange abroad and I can choose my destination among 400 partner universities. I would really love to make the most of it to study jazz. That's why I am looking for advice for places/universities where there is an important artistic dynamic and jazz in particular and where teaching is quite reknowned (we don't have partnership with Berklee but however, regarding New-York, we have with the NYU, Rutgers and Fordham). I am looking for places in the anglo-saxon world and the middle east world (if such places exist there).

The universities have to be general because we only have partnerships with the one which have "Art and science" (social sciences) schools. But within these schools we can choose to take courses of music!

Thanks for your help guys, I am a bit lost so far so don't hesitate to leave a comment! ;)

Matthieu.

A recent issue of Downbeat featured an extensive list of jazz music schools. When I return home this Sunday I will give you more details, but off the top of my head there is always North Texas State in Denton Texas. I will have more for you tomorrow night.

Apparently I was thinking of the wrong magazine.

The November issue of Jazz Times has a very extensive list of schools offering jazz studies.

I'm sure the issue is on line too, thats volume 46 number 9.
