When my performance major was applying to his undergrad programs, THE most important criteria was the applied private teacher. He only applied to seven colleges (combinations of conservatories within universities, and stand alone conservatories). But in every case, he knew exactly which private teacher he wanted to have. And in fact, one of his acceptances would not give this info out…and my kid scratched that excellent conservatory from consideration.
Does your singer have knowledge of the voice teachers at all of these colleges? And has she had any trial lessons anywhere? What input has she gotten from her current private voice teacher (we found ours were very helpful because they knew our kid, and were well connected in terms of faculty on his instrument).
So many moving parts for these BM performance students.
