<p>Thanks. The musictherapy.org site has a list of schools with approved degree programs. FSU’s site shows that they do indeed have a great music program, plus a summer program for high school choir kids. Unfortunately, the summer program butts up against a trip his hs has planned to go to the Linz, Austria Invitational Choir Festival in June.</p>
<p>S is showing an unusual amount of initiative (for him) with his college search. I am a little nervous that he has engineered a trip next week to Hendrix in Arkansas with a buddy of his whose parents have agreed to drive. They have also got themselves a voice audition even tho’ they are only in 11th grade (which surprises me that the school agreed to that). Fortunately, he has his all-state concert this weekend, so the audition will come on the heels of three days of rehearsals and performing, and as he can pick any two songs he wants, he’s going to just sing two from the concert.</p>
<p>It looks like a pretty low key audtion, so H says not to worry. It will be good experience for other college vocal auditions and may work in S’s favor in other ways. I still worry tho’ as I’m new to all this performing arts audition stuff and S is kind of “taking off” w/o me. Maybe I am in helicopter parent w/drawal.</p>
