<p>My daughter is a PIANIST AND VOCALIST. Should she try for a piano AND vocal scholarship, or just concentrate on one? We are told by a piano professor at a college we visited that there are more vocalists trying for scholarships than pianists, so we’re thinking her odds will be higher for piano, but what are your thoughts? </p>
<p>She was very impressed with Carson-Newman College - any thoughts there? </p>
<p>Blessings…</p>
<p>I don’t think anyone can answer that question without knowing how proficient in voice/piano your daughter is. Voice may have more applicants, but advanced piano is very, very competitive. At the bare minimum most pianists practice 4-6 hours per day to be competitive, and many practice 8+ now adays. Voice is usually less competitive, though the judging can be more difficult as tone color is far, far more subjective and varied.</p>
<p>Whichever your daughter feels most comfortable she should go for.</p>
