<p>Broadwaybritt, have you committed to NYU, or do you have other options? Glassharmonica’s daughter successfully petitioned for a studio change last year–she may be able to give you advice based on her experience. I don’t any evidence in your post that you are “freaking out” or doing anything inappropriate for such a huge commitment of time and money, not to mention your education itself. Follow your instincts and make sure this is really the right place for you! Good luck and keep us posted… :)</p>
