| Divamommy (I love your screen name- I can relate....), I think it was sometime in January that Julliard sent out their audition letters. They tell you when to show up, and you better hope you haven't scheduled something else! My daughter was nervous for the Julliard audition, which is not her usual mode. She started with a hard piece and didn't do well. She did not get a "call back" which is the next step. You know about that pretty soon after you sing. She was disappointed (I wasn't) but moved on. Her Interlochen roommate, a soprano, also didn't get a call back. My D had to fly out early the next morning to Indiana for that audition. She called me in a panic from the Indianapolis airport. She was tired, hadn't had enough fluids and was nervous that she would screw up again. I told her that she needed to just go down to IU and have fun- she didn't want to go to school there anyway, even though she had already been admitted to the university honors college and is a legacy (me). She went- had a blast- nailed the audition- felt IU would be awesome for grad school. I was really proud of her. The Rice audtion was her favorite, followed by Cleveland Institute. The Rice faculty was warm and welcoming. Let me know how things turn out for your daughter. K. |
