<p>USC’s pop music program has very few (just)vocalists as students. I only know of 2 but there may be more. Most are singer/songwriters and they have to submit original music with lyrics for the pre-screen audition. They make up about a third of the 25 students and the others specialize in their instruments. Berklee has many more vocalists, especially female- that was apparent in the 5 week summer program that my d attended. I bet scholarships for female vocalists at Berklee are tough to get. </p>
<p>You should check out the 5 week program since it is so close by- it is expensive too but at least she could commute-it will give her insight into the level of talent out there.</p>
