<p>I thought I would respond to the above posts regarding MMC. My daughter has gone to MMC for 4 years. I read in some of the posts above about kids leaving after 2 years because of the “training”. Well, alot of the professors, voice teachers, dance teachers, etc. teach at both MMC and NYU CAP. My daughter’s voice teacher has half MMC kids and half NYU students. She has had SEVERAL professors that teach acting at both NYU and MMC. This is not uncommon. It is also a highly competitive school for performance opportunities because of the number of students. So this does mean that some students can go for 4 years and not be cast in a show. There are some VERY talented students there and it seems that the same ones get cast as the leads in most of the shows. Kind of sounds like the real world, huh?? However, there are other opportunities to do other projects. It is not a school where they hold your hand for four years, but if a student can handle the New York lifestyle and be very independent or a go-getter there are alot of opportunities for learning and performaning.</p>
