Talk:College or university school of music/Archive 1

I don't mean to pick on anyone here, but this is a prime example of a sort of entry that looks a lot more like a directory page than an encyclopedia article. Of course, I think it's great that this article has been created and that the information added has been added. But this (and the many other articles like it on Wikipedia) seems right now to serve the purpose of briefly defining something and then listing as many of the items falling under the heading as possible. That's not an encyclopedia article!

What could be added? Well, lots of stuff: what the typical curriculum of a music school is; what instruments are taught; the extent to which attendance at one is a prerequisite for getting a job in an orchestra or a career as a soloist; their focus (no?) on classical music and jazz, to the exclusion of virtually all other kinds of music; etc.

For similar kvetching in this vein, please see this column (by me) and this one. --LMS
