One of the toughest things about being an isolated artist…you don’t see that everyone is struggling and dealing with some sort of rejection. No one gets into everything, for the simple reason that not every program is the right program for your student. Even here on the music forum, people tend to post the wins and not the losses. Anything you could do to help her network with other young musicians or music professionals who can commiserate honestly? Is there any way that you could organize a local recital with her friends/family/community to give her a boost of confidence? Just a few ideas. It is something that she needs to work on. No matter how good she is…she will eventually need to deal with the rejection that is part of EVERY artists life.
