I auditioned for CU Boulder’s College of Music and the University of Minnesota’s School of Music for voice and was accepted into both schools. I attended the tours for each school but I’m not sure which one would ultimately be better to lead me towards a career in opera. Does anyone have any experience with either of these schools or know anything about their voice programs that would make one better than the other?
I’m from the Twin Cities so I do the UMN program. I know only a little about Boulder as my D did audition there for grad but dropped it after her pre-screens - mainly she didn’t think the environment was a good fit. She wanted to be in a city.
I get the impression they are similar programs. If all things seem equal to you, I have one word for you: teacher, teacher, teacher. Where ever there is a good teacher for you, you can have growth.
Congrats on your acceptances!
Undergrad or grad? Totally different environments outside of classroom. Have you been in contact with a teacher at either school?
