@compmom-
Yeah, I suspected it was a mashup, too. I wonder if some of it was music ed (any music ed parents/majors around to comment on requirements there). @goforth, I think it is better to be overwhelmed by something like this than underwhelmed, in the sense that I have read a lot of things written about getting into music schools, especially performance, that made it seem easy…hopefully someone will see this, then do some nosing around to see specifics. Among other things, hopefully they look at the website for the music schools they are thinking of, and see that that they don’t require students to play piano, they don’t require a student to sing in auditions, and those kind of things, it would be sad if a kid couldn’t sing well if something like that deterred them from studying the clarinet or whatnot.
