[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If a college has a large amateur musician contingent and many ensembles, they would probably be very open to hearing about musicianship.

It probably could be worked into a Common App essay, the "Why X School" essay, the "Is there anything else we should know?" area.  As well as the activities section of the Common App.

Have your child review each target school and identify honestly what musical opportunities they would take advantage of.

Marching Band was the first thing I thought of when I read this post.  Without knowing what instrument your child plays.[/quote]

OP here. Thx. She’s percussion but not marching - more orchestral and solo performance on pitched percussion. I think she’s making connections, through teachers she met over the years, with college orchestra directors. Sounds like she’s doing the right thing. She has a fantastic connection at Oberlin, which I quietly have a soft spot for.[/quote]

Check how much music she could do at Oberlin if not a conservatory student.[/quote]
