Carnegie Pre-College

<p>Since I am new to the instrumental side of music...can anyone give some information on the CM pre-college summer program? I have absolutely no doubt it is fantastic! I guess my questions are how is it for flute? How selective are they? How do they select? D found out that she actually made the cut and is excited about the program. We sent the application in about two weeks ago...so the ball is rolling. Just wondered what your thoughts were. She is young, barely making the cut (late June birthday) Does that matter? I liked that they wanted transcripts, recs, resume, ect...since d is at the top of her class with all honors courses.</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>So, am I to take it that NOBODY has gone to CMU pre-college for music??? :o</p>

<p>Hey there,
I'm going for music (vocal) this year, and despite everyone I know who is going for musical theater, I also have not found anyone going for music lol
But, I went to visit CMU for college last week, and a voice teacher I talked to said that it was one of the best programs for preparing for a college major in music with basically a freshman fall semester compacted into one 6-week course.
In terms of selectivity, I haven't gone yet, so I'm unaware.
Sorry I couldnt be more helpful.
Give it some time - people are quick to respond on here, just not in only a couple hours.

<p>thanks operasinger2000!<br>
I was just "bumping" this thread...and thought I'd use a litte sarcastic humor!! We visited the college last year with my older d (MT major :D )and fell in love with it. I would imagine it is one of the best...but there is not a lot of info on their web. Thanks again for the response!</p>

<p>notfromme- I agree. I found the CM website sparse and hard to navigate.</p>

<p>Okay folks, now the decision has to be made soon! Just wondering if anyone knows of anyone who went for the music pre college at CMU! I have heard of some strings that attended there, and they said it was unbelievable. Any input? Afterall....it is Carnegie...and I do know it is an upcoming top school for flute. But, she also has a very nice acceptance into an intensive flute program. What to do, what to do!!! :D</p>
