Please share info on Loyola New Orleans for Vocal Performance BM (opera studies) Loyola has made my son a wonderful financial offer but we don’t know much about the program. Has acceptances at NEC, Oberlin, Peabody among others
I can’t speak to voice as my son is in the popular and commercial music program. He is finishing up his freshman year and it has been a huge success in many ways in spite of covid.
He was well taken care of during Hurricane Ida and he grew up so much during the school year.
Socially it is going very well and he seems to have lots of friends. This year rooming with a drummer and next year a saxophone player(He was quite shy in HS) He is very happy with his classmates, teachers, and classes, and is partaking in the many musical opportunities New Orleans offers such as attending concerts and performing at a local venue. He even just got hired as a stagehand for Jazzfest (it is an extraordinary festival with music from many genres - check it out: https://www.nojazzfest.com/)
We also like the city is so manageable and cheap to get around. He does not have a car so it is important to him to be able to easily see his favorite bands.
Hope you can get more specific info on voice but I just wanted to chime in about the music programs and school in general.
