| Thank you all for the information. I think my daughter will go to Tanglewood, as long as it doesn't interfere with the starting of college as Sopranomom pointed out. When we visited (& auditioned) U of Colorado, they stated that quite often for the first year to year and a half a graduate student is your voice student. Perhaps you can arrange with a teacher to have him/her ahead of time, but this did not seem to be how they do it there. Also, it is truly a party school! Every student we talked to talked about partying, and if they said they wern't into partying they'd go on to say how they "partied last night". My daughter didn't feel like it was a fit. Of all the schools that we visited, she liked IU the most. We met many dedicated musicians, the staff was so nice, the facilities were amazing, and it was a beautiful campus. But it's very hard to get to from where we live and we're a little concerned with being an undergraduate there. We haven't seen Boston University yet (auditioned regionally) and I've read a few posts that have said Boston College has the better voice program. So confusing. |
