<p>Thanks!! 
Still can’t believe this is all coming to an end!</p>
<p>We are thrilled that our son will attend Curtis. (BM Trumpet Performance) </p>
<p>It’s been an exciting ride over the last few months. Like some others have posted, it’s hard to believe it’s over. So much psychic energy has been expended since the whole process began. We did this in 2007 with our violist daughter (who went to Oberlin and is now at Juilliard) and the second time is not any easier. Lots of pro/con lists, discussions - sometimes heated - and now a decision that he feels great about. </p>
<p>One of the toughest parts of the last few days has been his reluctance to tell anybody “no”. Well, those emails have been sent. He has received nice replies and everyone has been very supportive. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you all!</p>
<p>Tom</p>
<p>Son has chosen to attend The College-Conservatory of Music, University of Cincinnati, for Jazz Studies, piano. </p>
<p>So excited for him!</p>
<p>Congratulations to tomdug and son, and to jazzpianomom1 and son.</p>

<p>Happy to report that D will be attending University of Colorado at Boulder! She will be pursuing a double major: BM Performance Oboe + BME Music Education.</p>
<p>I am very excited for her. This is a great opportunity and should be a wonderful experience. Will just have to get used to her being so far from home (we’re in NY).</p>
<p>She just had the difficult task of writing e-mails to some wonderful professors she has met during the audition process. It was not an easy decision as she really wanted to study with several of them.</p>
<p>Thank you to all who have given so much helpful advice on these boards, most especially BassDad for sharing your knowledge and for all your time and hardwork!!</p>
<p>Congratulations Parkmama and daughter.</p>
<p>Son picked Ithaca College for composition. (cello)
After much thoughtful consideration this school seems like right fit for him at this time and the composition and cello department seem very nurturing. Thanks to everyone for their great advice.</p>
<p>Great news Cellocompmom! Keep us posted as the years go by so we can hear all about it.</p>
<p>D has decided (along with our input) to attend Stetson (BM Voice Performance & Music Ed).</p>
<p>Congratulations to cellocompmom and son, and to Dad22kds and daughter.</p>
<p>Congratulations also to Tjolmsy who, on another thread, announced a decision for Berklee.</p>
<p>Cleveland Institute of Music for me! BM Violin Performance</p>
<p>Congrats, Lifeofsolitude! Do you know who your teacher will be?</p>
<p>After lots of thinking and talking with various teachers at her accepted schools, DD decided on Westminster Choir College for organ performance. Her teacher will be Alan Morrison. She is really happy and excited. With merit aid and local scholarships it is almost a free ride, so makes good sense both for quality teacher and no loans. </p>
<p>I have to say thank you to everyone at College confidential for help over the years - this forum is where I learned about Westminster Choir college! And now my daughter is going there! Thank you so much to all!</p>
<p>The final decision has been made. My S will go to Hartt for a 5 year double major in Composition and Music Production and Technology - piano. We are all very excited.</p>
<p>My Son has also decided to go to Hartt. He will be majoring in music management, BM degree, with a focus on jazz bass. He probably won’t be playing that electric bass much anymore! He is so excited to be studying with Nat Reeves.</p>
<p>That’s cool electricbassmom. I am very excited for them both!</p>
<p>I’m feeling the Hartt love tonight! Welcome to both mom2winds’ S and electricbassmom’s S.</p>
<p>Congratulations to Suzukimom and daughter, mom2winds and son, and electricbassmom and son.</p>
<p>From a Hartt graduate from many, many years ago - congrats to those who chose Hartt and to everyone else on their decisions.</p>
<p>After having gone through the audition process with S1, we were fortunate that S2 ended up not having to do any auditions - just a music supplement CD - whew! He knew his first choice and applied to Vassar ED1 and was accepted - BA Music (bassoon) and BA physics</p>
