<p>My son was a pretty solid B student in HS…with the occasional C…He always aced everything to do with music. He’s a senior at Oberlin in Vocal Performance. He was accepted at Eastman at his live audition with a full scholarship…but he really preferred Oberlin. He does have to do actual studying, lol…such as languages, theory etc…which he still isn’t the greatest fan of. If he could he would have Opera class all day long, or his lessons…anything that was actually musical. However, the courses he is studying are all so inter-realted to his major, that he’s doing very well…(even in languages, which he needs to know, to sing properly). I know he’s totally enjoying “film” this sem…lol, cause they watch movies most of the time, then discuss them the rest of the time. I think I’d love that myself. The audition is totally key for conservatories…but, I do think the person must show some aptitude for being able to learn some complicated material. Music is not a “gravy” major, like some people seem to think. Its very complicated once you start to learn all the elements that go into it.</p>
<p>Good luck to your daughter:)</p>
