Hello all,

I have been accepted to Brown, Harvard, and Columbia as a transfer student. I absolutely love Brown, but I’m very worried about the quality of the music on campus. I’m from New York City, and during high school I attended Mannes pre-prep, which is a pre-conservatory program, as well as New York Youth Symphony Chamber Music, and played in various masterclasses, etc. I play flute and I sing, so I’m interested in everything ranging from the orchestra, chamber music, the choir, a cappella, maybe a musical. I’m not looking to become a musician, which is why I decided not to apply to conservatories, but I am looking for a pretty high level of musical performance opportunities. Private lessons are also a big concern–being in Providence there are fewer opportunities for teachers off campus, so I need to be sure that I would be able to study with someone of a high caliber on campus. Harvard and Columbia are both clearly very good at music, but I love the freedom of Brown’s curriculum and the more intimate nature of the campus. I need to let Brown know by tomorrow so any and all input is GREATLY appreciated!!
