<p>violadad, thank you for posting and links, I was expecting you. I should have search “viola” in this forum first. Maybe I took the camp owners words wrongly. He himself was a pro violist and taught my S viola in the camp. My S had wish to become a pro at that time, so we discussed about his “conservatory bound” thing. </p>
<p>I think we should talk about appropriate number of college apps in other threads. I will start one if there is no on-going thread about it.</p>
