This year, I am finishing up my degree at NYU, so now I'm really beginning to consider later life. As many may know, the recorded music industry is moving out of big cities and more into independent towns and the like. This is what originally led me to wanting to move to Bloomington, Indiana. At least for a couple of years, I'd like to focus on finding talent and recording them and promoting them in their local areas, and then bringing them to NYC (in addition to performing my more ambitious works where it won't be as expensive to do as in the city). But then I remembered the Jacobs School of Music at IU, and I am now thinking about obtaining an education in composition and recording again at the graduate level.
It's not nearly as prestigious, most likely, as NYU, but I need to know a couple of basic things about the university. I will not be living on campus obviously, but I still would like to know if any level of intellectualism or scholarly behavior is found among the student body? Are the music students mostly stuck within the classical field or are they innovating as well? And, of course, will a New York City dweller be able to find a similar level of acceptance, uniqueness, artistry, and diversity in Bloomington?
If anybody who attended Indiana U or lived in Bloomington could comment, I'd be greatly appreciative! I am looking for as many different angles and opinions as possible, so it's all very helpful.
Thanks in advance guys.
