Talk:College or university school of music/Archive 1

message: I removed the existing Vienna entry as I thought it really too imprecise to be left in. Why was it in French, and bad French at that? Is there an institution there called "Conservatoire de Vienna"? I think not. It seems logical to me that we might here refer to an institution in Enlgish, becase this is an English wiki, or in German, becase that's the relevant language. But why French? Maybe what was meant was the Universität für Musik und darstellende Kunst Wien, or perhaps the Gustav Mahler Konservatorium für Musik und darstellende Kunst? Oh and not, please not, some place with a similar sounding name established 20 years ago. I'm sorry but this entry does not wash and it does the wiki no good to do stuff like this. 82.35.17.203 00:05, 2 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: I agree. Although it is difficult to assess the quality of a music faculty! Also the list would be huge just with the main european conservatoires (personally I can think of 27 really important Music Colleges in Europe and 3 or 4 in the States!). Let's leave the notability for TV and lets focus here on objective facts. Cheers --Nandonaranja (talk) 23:51, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I propose, as a first step that the section on US music schools be transferred to a new page on "Music Schools in the US"

replies: text: Why most of the references to schools and examples are about Juilliard? I think the article should show a broader view of the world of the conservatoires and make more references to the European Conservatoires, where the elite of classical music has been trained since the 18th century (let's be honest, most american conservatories were founded in the 20th century). I know Juilliard is a good school (I briefly studied there in the late 60s) but it has little history compared to the most important conservatoires in Europe such as Moscow Conservatory, Paris Conservatoire, University of Music and Performing Arts, Vienna, Royal Academy of Music, Felix Mendelssohn College of Music and Theatre, Prague Conservatory etc. There should be more examples of these schools. --Karljoos (talk) 09:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
