Texas has a great music history, and currently Austin has one of the top music “scenes” in the country.
Although Texas is more known for Country and Folk music you can find every genre in The Lone Star State.
As you would expect most of the music programs are located in Austin, if you aren’t located nearby or are unable to move, you have other options available (Dallas & Houston). Also, consider taking an accredited audio program online.
The job outlook in Texas is quite strong compared to the rest of the country. The economy in Texas is doing well and for this reason business is flying into the state.
Additionally, Austin is the biggest little music city in the country right now and opportunities, studios, and music ‘labels’ are popping up all over the place.
Compared to the cost of living in Texas (which is much lower than CA and NY) the average salaries are quite high. But in the end, it will be you who determines how much you get paid, by how badly you work for it.
When looking at the schools available in Texas, keep in mind that additional costs may be involved for those not currently a resident.
