What prior experience is optimal when audition for top MT schools?

<p>These are all of great help - thank you so much. I have so many more posts to read to figure it all out. I feel so inspired! We will definitely look into summer programs. I’ll have to look into MTCA when it get closer. We have decided to hire a local CCM MT grad who moved back here after working on Broadway for several years for private lessons on acting and MT skills and as an audition coach for our D. She definitely needs to learn the MT vocal method since her training has been classical voice. Now I’m so glad I got an early start and with the help from you and all the other wonderful posters my D might be ready in 4 years for her auditions! Thank you!!</p>
