| Hartt Question
We visited Hartt this summer with our S and he had a wonderful experience there. He had a lesson and met with several teachers and a very encouraging Admissions Director, possibly the Hartt Admissions poster here. We made sure to spend most of our time in the West Hartford area to make sure he had a positive impression and I must say that when driving through downtown for a little tour we were impressed. It is not nearly as bad as the Harford I remembered from 30 years ago. S is planning on applying under the Early Notification option.
Although there has been a lot of positive information about Hartt on this forum and we had such a positive visit, we have been advised by a well respected music teacher that it is not a good place to study and that he should not apply there. We were told that the facilities were not great and that they have had trouble attracting high caliber teachers. This is disappointing a little disturbing to us since we had such a good impression of the school. We really don't mind the somewhat older facilities but the other issue is a bit concerning. We would appreciate any comments and insight regarding this issue. Thanks.
