My daughter consistently placed high in competitions and got into a great conservatory with students who did equally as well in the same or similar competitions. The competitions let her get a sense of her level of talent. Although I don’t think it mattered on her resume much, the competitions and the whole act of competing gave lessons in professionalism. The critiques gave her a thicker skin. She also found out how small the music community can be. lol
