@cellomom2 Thank you! I am currently taking a gap year right now because I have been trying to figure out where i want to go to college/what I want to study. I have gone to a music camp in Chicago for the past eight summers and this summer I went to a music camp in Alaska for the first time. I have met some college cello professors at these camps but never talked to them about anything related to studying music in college because at the time I still had no idea what I wanted to do. Currently I am involved in a community orchestra as I cannot play in the youth orchestra anymore that i was in last year. Thank you for the information and I will take some time to think it over and then make a plan from there.
