[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she's all state, look at schools with philharmonic orchestras. These are sometimes town-gown groups that play at a high level. My kid's school offers $4K just if you made it into State Band. (And you don't have to be a music major.)

In terms of bassoon, it really depends on how much they need a bassoon. My kid plays a less common instrument that also happens to be expensive; a  few of his schools were quite interested in him for that reason. While no one threw money at him with his acceptances, he did get emails from a couple of the music directors encouraging him to attend, and there would have been possibility for future schlolarship money.[/quote]

^ To clarify, no one threw specifically music scholarship money at him upon acceptance. He did get nice merit money.

One of my son's choices had auditions for music scholarships for incoming freshmen in December of his senior year. He didn't end up going because it happened to be the same day as one of his concerts at home, and he wasn't all that interested in the school anyway. Again, just another thing to ask about during college tours and whatever. [/quote]
