D LOVED Barnard, but they could not tell us that D would get vocal lessons for sure even if she were a music major. Only 40 kids in both Barnard and Columbia can receive free vocal lessons per year in total. Since we would be paying sticker price for Barnard to begin with (ouch!!), there was no way possible that we could afford to supplement her education with $90/week vocal lessons. She is talented and probably had a good shot of getting these coveted lessons, but we couldn't take the chance. And singing is too important for her to give up. So when NYU came up with a merit based music scholarship, it seemed right. |
