Both of our kids are very talented musicians. Let’s just say…music majors are not recruited the same way as athletes!
My professional musician son wasn’t really recruited anywhere, and as a performance major, his audition was the number 1 thing when his admission was considered. He went to Boston University where he had to meet the academic bar for university acceptance as well.
Our daughter played her “endangered instruments” all through college. She had a private lesson prior to applying. The applied teacher and department chair both told her that they had zero influence with admissions.
Your daughter should contact the music department chairperson, the orchestra director and the applied violin teacher. See if she can get a lesson with teacher. Your daughter can tell them her music goals, and discuss ND with them.
Good luck to her…
But a simple answer…musicians are not recruited.
