Check into the Radio-TV-Film program. My diploma says "Radio-TV-Film," but I did the majority of my coursework in television. Likewise, he could pursue Radio, which will give him all the sound engineering skills he will desire in both studio and off-site venues. I had a good bit of sound engineering even in the lower division classes because TV has sound too! UT's degree program will probably be flexible enough for him to pursue the songwriting, too (I kept up my studies of a foreign language). I don't know if this has changed or not, but UT Austin tuition plus air fare was way cheaper than University of Washington. Also, Austin is a major mecca for musicians. I've heard the School of Music is great. There's no lack of places to perform or work a sound board for tuition money, to record a CD or two, and to catch the ear of an agent. So... definitely UT Austin is worth looking into if your son wants to continue this beyond high school. No I don't get a kickback. I just bleed burnt orange. Hook 'em HORNS!
