Summary
There is a lot to like about enrolling in a music school in Pennsylvania. Mainly you have a large music production industry as well as access to an even larger one just north of you in New York.
Plus, the cost of living isn’t nearly as high as New York. You’re getting the best of both worlds.
Lastly, I want to remind you that this can be a tough industry to crack into. You need a solid education, determination, and a strong work ethic.
If you are still interested, I wish you the best of luck. Get going and stay hungry.
