I don’t have any kids in the acting field, so I’m coming at it from a different perspective.

My son was extremely musical from a very young age. He would always talk about the music he heard in his head, started composing at about 8, etc. He LOVES music. We have paid a lot of money for an awesome teacher and have also shelled out quite a bit for various competitions and events.

His teacher thinks he could get into any conservatory, he has no interest in doing that. I am still glad we spent the money to develop his gift and I believe he will always do something with his music for the pure joy it brings him.

That being said, having 3 kids past 10 now, they all had a variety of ideas of what they wanted to do then and all but the youngest have changed their minds multiple times.

Personally, I would cautiously explore programs right now. If she gets into the arts schools, you will have a better idea of where she is compared to her peers and you will also see the depth of her interest.
