| I keep getting hearsay as well from singers I know who did not attend but know people who did, mostly moderately negative--and I looked at Facebook and Classical Singer sites as well, but S's voice teacher wants him to apply. S is more interested in music schools within more competitive academic universities or LACs or universities with BA, strong music. (Rider is not selective, although WCC is because of audition.) We back him up 100%. Theoretically, a WCC VP student can take one class per semester at Princeton, but is this done for real? And do you feel like the odd person out in class?)
As someone on CC pointed out, Westminster has reorganized with MT on the Lawrenceville campus and WCC remaining at Princeton--not sure what this does--is it an improvement? Was it always like that? I've heard there's an increasing focus on MT but is this true? No idea. Would love to hear, but I'm hoping S sticks to his BM-in-selective-U or BA in selective U/LAC plan, as academics are high on our list. Not much time to apply, in any case!
Would love to hear any voices of experience. I'm just adding more hearsay, sorry! |
