@Musicmom2015 @ClarinetDad16 @MerryLee Thank you all for these great questions. We toured Blair at Vanderbilt . He figured out he’s not headed for a conservatory and is not interested in a performance major – but it was there that he got the idea of adding a minor, or at the very least some classes in music history, theory, and composition. He also figured out he’d like to keep playing in a quartet, and if he can make it, an orchestra. The disadvantage for a kid like mine at these conservatory schools, as many of you have pointed out, is that the orchestra seats are extremely competitive. Given what I know about him right now, I’d say that academics are his priority.

I’m not sure what he wants to do with his Japanese. He took it bc the teachers are so good at his HS. And it turned out he has a gift for it.
