If you are considering St. Olaf, you may want to have a look at Pacific Lutheran just down the road from you. The Choral program is one of the best in the Nation in the same Choral tradition as St. Olaf. My daughter was accepted at both Lawrence and Oberlin for vocal performance, (she didn’t consider St. Olaf as she was already auditioning at PLU) but decided the teaching at PLU was every bit as good as those schools. However, she is classically focused. If your daughter is having any issue with wrapping her head around going across country to school, it probably wouldn’t hurt to talk to someone there. They also have a composition major, and she could easily double major outside of music.
