<p>I am a high school senior in Ithaca and am involved in musical theatre, so while I don’t go to IC, I have worked with students that go to IC. Several of my friends take lessons with Erica Steinhagen, and when I went to their voice recital, it was almost exclusively IC BFA acting students. It seems that the majority of IC’s acting majors take with Erica. Another great voice teacher in the area is Sharon Costianes, however, she has a wait list, and it is a hike to get from IC to her studio (approx 20-25 minute drive). I do know that both Erica and Sharon were students at IC. Another thing to remember is that IC acting majors have more wiggle room when it comes to class selection. The choreographer for a show I was in last year is an acting major at IC but pursuing an MT career, and she said she enjoys it because she was able to take a higher level dance class than starting off in intro classes like what the MT students have to do. I’m sure your daughter won’t have much trouble getting the right training for MT in Ithaca.</p>
