Advice for violinist daughter - music ed

<p>Suzukimom,</p>

<p>Is Indiana Jacobs too far for you? Mimi Zweig is well known as an instructor/pedagogue interested in “younger” (before college) age students with a strong Suzuki connection/respect. IU also offers a Music Ed degree - something the conservatories like CIM will not have. </p>

<p>I’m sure you know, CIM, Eastman and Oberlin are quite competitive for violin, as is Indiana - even for potential music ed majors.</p>

<p>I am a bit confused - your D “doesn’t want to be a performance major”, but that will certainly be the focus of most CIM, Eastman and Oberlin students…</p>
