We left our sweet 17 year old D (violin) at NEC this past weekend. She’s had her placement tests and orch audition and is now finalizing her schedule before the returning students arrive. She already has a quartet that invited her to join over the summer so she won’t have to search out a group. She and her roommate are becoming good friends and she seems very happy. Boston is having a very hot spell and while her room has A/C (thank God for new dorms!) the old dorm building (now turned into practice rooms) does not so the extra practice rooms are great but it’s hard right now with the heat/humidity. That will get better soon, hopefully. She has an ongoing medical condition so her private teachers (she is in 2 studios for freshman year, husband/wife team) wanted to meet with us while we were in town so we were invited to their lovely brownstone for a chat. I think it really put her at ease as they also talked about rep and scheduling and all things violin. I didn’t cry until i checked in at the airport - one family member less - and when the airplane lifted off. But it is hard to be sad because she is so happy!!

Let me know how your freshman’s first days are going!
