How soon is too soon to start preparing?

Also, in my personal experience, my dad was very adamant about me being ahead and too much so. I think it’s great to start looking for material but he was pushing me to get in my prescreens far earlier than they were needed and he thought my vocal coach would agree with him so he talked to her but she agreed with me that he didn’t need to pressure me into getting it in super early.

Thanks for the thoughts (and the links). That is not the kind of pressure I want to put on my daughter.

I guess I just feel like, given the highly selective nature of the schools she is shooting for, we should get the ball rolling, if only on a very low level. As you said, doing little bits and pieces of planning now might avoid a lot of stress later.
