What is the best option for a MHC non-music major to continue classical voice lessons in college? D is a MHC admit who wants a liberal arts undergraduate education and (hopefully) a graduate education in opera. She wants to participate in vocal groups, take music theory and continue voice lessons. Do any of the colleges have voice teachers who teach classical voice? Are lessons extra for a non-music major even if she sings in an ensemble? Is it even possible for a non-music major to study with the college’s voice teachers?

D has also been admitted to Smith, but she has a scholarship to MHC. If Smith is the better option for D’s goals, we would support that choice.
