<p>I think seeing classes is iffy - for the reasons I stated above, and also from these other perspectives. What my D was able to do was watch a rehearsal. That was hugely informative. She learned so much, about the program and about the process. Talking to the students was a great opportunity. She observed a rehearsal because we couldn’t be there for a performance - but actually I think the rehearsal was a way better experience for her.</p>
<p>Actually this happened with my D1, too. She was a science major, but it mattered to her a lot if she would have good choral experiences as an EC. She got to watch a choir rehearsal and even got to sight read one of the pieces with them. That made a huge difference. She was in that choir for all 4 years of college. The classes she observed really didn’t mean much in her decision - sometimes classes are just plain boring, for whatever reason (and probably the ones that aren’t are the ones that shouldn’t have visitors, eh?).</p>
