<p>A college music professor who is familiar with my D’s current voice teacher gave her the following suggestion as an option: Continue to study with current voice teacher, apply to the excellent local public university as a language major (French lit, Italian studies…), fit in as many music theory/history, maybe composition courses as possible (minor +), continue piano. Study abroad, and upon application to grad school for voice she could potentially be very valuable as a diction coach, maybe get grad fellowship/assistantship. Since my D has a passion and aptitude for languages, she does plan to set up this option. Even now she seems to be everyone’s French diction coach. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.</p>
