Music at Princeton, anyone?

Let me add my two cents. DD sent an art supplement with classical guitar and classical voice, following the instructions. She applied as an engineering major and we didn’t know if anyone even listened to the supplement. Until she arrived on campus, that is, and did NOT sign up for gee club auditions as she thought she would be too busy. She then got an email from the Glee Club director introducing himself as the person who had listened to her supplement, strongly recommended her to admissions, and asking why she hadn’t signed up for auditions. She did so, was accepted and has loved every minute of it. She took classical guitar lessons her first semester from a very qualified teacher (studied with Segovia), but is too busy this semester. They were 1/2 subsidized at the end of the semester due to her Glee Club participation. She hopes to pick it up again as a sophomore, but her life is so full, engineering is difficult, and I’m not sure she’ll be able to. Music is her passion and always will be, but she has decided it will not be her career. We’re going to co-ed jam this Thursday night and I’m so excited!
