If any “prospective” parents need details about either Montclair or FSU, Clay James and Michelle Diamonti are priceless. They offer extensive info, down to the nuances, of the programs they represent. As the parent of a HS junior - I’ve been very impressed with both of them (attentive conversation, promptly returned calls, open offers for additional dialog). Reach out and ask those questions early!!
I will second the Montclair comment. I asked some questions earlier last year and was always responded to promptly .
@beachymom you will find that most programs are very thorough in educating prospective students. The only program that didn’t do that quite as well was ccm but in defense of them we were auditioning prior to an anticipated snow storm
I just posted a new article about MSU in the Montclair thread. Worth reading and accurate from my experience. The president of the school is extremely supportive of the arts. My daughter will be graduating in May! :((
