[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have any knowledge about the experience at the music Gov schools?  Does piano qualify or does it have to be a band or orchestra instrument?[/quote]

Yes, piano does qualify. Our DD was there at Radford and we were able to listen to the kids perform on the last day. It was AMAZING![/quote]

I went in High school for music as I was told it was good. Yeah……While it was fun and free….it isn’t worth the time if your a serious music performance student looking to have a career. Go to Interlochen, go to one of the serious camps, stay home and practice and take lessons with the performers in the NSO/National Opera….or get in the train once a week (4hours each way) and take lessons with the performers in the NYPhil or the Met. Basically get ahold of your idol, audition for them, and see if you can study with them for the summer…..then practice your ass off for ten hours a day.

Yes, the ones in VA for Music in the 80s were great, but I'd been to a much better quality summer camp for 4 summers before that.   But for most kids, it was a really good experience.  I went on to be a music performance major at a T3 music school. Almost wish I had selected the STEM academic one instead, as that was my other area of interest.[/quote]
