<p>NotMamaRose and MTgrlsmom - thanks for the heads up about the "other" academic pieces looked at when applying to MT programs. My son is taking music theory, and while he knows the keyboard very basically, he may need to spend a little more time practicing piano or taking some lessons. And he does take dance classes, so the dance experience should help him - right now he focusing on his ballet technique and loving it.</p>
<p>It is amazing how many balls these kids are expected to juggle to be competitive. I am not sure I could have done it back in the day...I get exhausted just watching my S manage his schoolwork, rehearsals, dance classes, voice lessons, and his couple of nonperformance related activities.</p>
