<p>Allmusic, thx. Yep, $50 per month in Boston. Didn’t go very far.</p>
<p>I appreciate the bp figure of $200 for concerts, events, etc. Although many of Yale’s cultural events will be available on campus and presumably free or discounted, my son is already making plans to meet friends in NYC every week when they come into the city for lessons (these are musicians from his precollege program who, like my son, intend to keep studying with their current teachers). </p>
<p>I’d rather my son not have to work at least in the first semester of his freshman year–it’s a big adjustment–and I’d like him to be able to have fun.</p>
<p>On the subject of music stands, these do disappear frequently, so write the last name on both parts of the stand with a sharpie.</p>
