| Catera45, thanks for the information. We started visiting campuses in Feb., and I thought we were starting the process early, but it seems not early enough. I dont see us being able to sit in on a choral rehearsal, or have a lesson, at this time of year. My son loves choral singing, but he also has a very fine solo tenor voice, so we thought Westminster was a place we should consider, despite the campus drawbacks. I am concerned that it does not offer the "well-rounded" experience, particuarly opportunites to pursue a double major, or even a minor, without going off campus (to Rider). We have visited state schools so far, but did want to consider a few private schools with the possibility of merit-based aid. I,too, think the vocal teacher is a critical consideration, and usually look to see if there is at least one male vocal teacher on staff. I will ask if there is the possibility of a lesson, and if not, we could go back in late August, if he likes the campus. |
