Melanieeek - thank you!
A couple more questions - is the quartet all you play in, or are you involved in that along with larger groups? Do you “take a class” for your quartet practice? You said “applied music” classes, like my quartet" - is that something you and your groups sets up independently with the professor? You said that you don’t take lessons at WashU - do you take private lessons elsewhere or just use the quartet class as your lesson? I read on CC a while back that small groups, quartets, etc. often play for functions at the university and get paid. One mom said her son received $50 per “gig” - have you done that? Not that it is a big selling point, but I have not heard of that at other schools. I also take it that Symphony and Chamber Orchestra rehersals are held on seperate days? Are students usually in one or the other? Sorry for all the questions. Just trying to get some of the information sorted out before D visits a week from Friday!! Thank you again! MP
