Talent scholarships for instrumentalists?

<p>This has been great - thanks everyone!</p>

<p>So, doesn’t look good. People says “oh you’re lucky, your daughter will get a scholarship”. And she probably will, but that needs a pretty big scholarship to make a dent in private or even out-of-state public expenses. Even $5K per year may not make the parental expected contribution any less, as I assume it reduces loans first (yes, that is good…) </p>

<p>Free private lessons is good, I forgot we’d have to pay for those if she wasn’t majoring in music. </p>

<p>Is minoring in performance any different than not-majoring in terms of scholarships?</p>
