| I have enjoyed reading all the posts on this thread. I am new to the site.
My D is a junior in HS and we have just recently started down this path. She has been taking vocal lessons for the past 3 years. She loves it..
Last year after state hs competition my brother in law (who is a local band teacher) said that we had to consider sending her to Interlochen for this years summer camp. I had never even heard of it, much less any of the other programs. After much praying and God putting many circumstances and people in our path....She has now auditioned and been accepted into both Interlochen (Michigan) and Walnut Hill School (MA) for her senior year of HS....Both programs are excellent but she ultimately decided upon Walnut Hill School where she will attend a 3 week summer opera camp (2 weeks in Natick MA, and 1 week in Italy attending operas and visiting historic sites). She will then continue on at Walnut Hill as a music major for her senior year of HS.
We have been researching university/conservatory programs. I am happy to read many good things about Oberlin as that is one we are considering. One of the teachers at Walnut Hill also teaches voice at Oberlin. We hope to visit there a little later this summer.
Thanks again for this thread....Although it does make me feel a little behind in the game :}
Anyother insites would be appreciated. |
