<p>Agree about the weather in Rochester- I live here- and Dinosaur BBQ isn't terific enough to make up for the weather (you can buy their sauce via mail order!!).</p>
<p>Just thought I would throw out some info that I got from Oberlin today. They only accepted one out of every four kids who auditioned for the Conservatory.</p>
<p>Adding the updates. It is not a simple cut-and-paste anymore now that we are bolding final choices. After the paste, you need to go back and reinsert the bold tags or highlight the choices and do a ctl-b.</p>

<p>Sorry, I lost the bolds. I will try to fix it!</p>
<p>Control b doesn't work for me. Bassdad, please help! btw, DS has not decided.</p>
<p>Bassdad, when you fix the bolds, could you also bold NC School of the Arts. DS is definitely going there. Deposit being mailed Tuesday (Patriots Day and the Boston Marathon on Monday....nothing else happens in Boston that day!!).</p>
<p>If highlighting the text and typing ctl-B does not work, you can add the necessary tags by hand as specified [url=<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=bbcode%5Dhere%5B/url">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=bbcode]here[/url</a>]. For example, to make something bold, you would have to type</p>
<p>[noparse]something[/noparse]</p>
<p>(I used the noparse tag to allow me to print the bold tags without having them interpreted as tags.)</p>

<p>ADDING onto my other post: I had some incorrect info, and yet some new info:</p>
<p>Jeremybeach: [voice perf.] Accept - Miami (Frost School of Music,) Tulane
Univ. Reject - McGill, Case, JMU, Northwestern :-'(</p>
<p>Mommybird: thanks for your message. I am currently trying to decide between CCM and Peabody (and maybe Oberlin). My waitlisted school was Eastman (which was my first choice). I discounted NEC and BU because I live in Boston (and no great scholarship money came my way). I was not all that interested in Ithaca. I am reluctant about Oberlin because of its location (I had a hard time adjusting to the location when I spent some time in their summer program). </p>
<p>I am getting feedback from my teacher about the teachers at CCM and Peabody. I think I prefer Peabody but unfortunately no scholarship money means it may be out of the question financially. It may be CCM in the end but would appreciate anybody's comments.</p>
<p>Voicestudent: The best young female singer we knew at our choir is at Peabody now and has thrived vocally and Eastman faculty recommended CIM to DS though he didn't follow through on applying there. You are lucky your teacher is helping you explore your options. DS's teacher is quite certain which school and so is not so willing to explore.
I am very curious why Eastman was your first choice.</p>
<p>PS to Voicestudent: One of the first things that DS teacher said to the question of where to study next was "not Oberlin". Apparently, the teacher had sent some student(s) there and the outcome was not good, e.g. bad teaching and ruined voice. The situation(s) may have been unusual and the quality of the education may have changed by now. We have a very close friend there who is not a music major who has been very happy with Oberlin and her voice teacher. If you have any names I'd be glad to run them by our Oberlin friend. Did you have anyone in mind at Peabody or Eastman?</p>
<p>Mommybird and others. 3 teachers have requested that I join their studios at Peabody (Hong, Sharp, and Busching). I really am trying to get some feedback about CCM to make the comparison since this is by far my most affordable choice. I am not putting too much time into thinking about Eastman since I am waitlisted there.</p>
<p>I do not like the practice of teachers inviting or requesting students to join their studios. It puts the students in a bind, because in their rejection of any teachers, a negative feeling has been established. Students are graded in voice juries at the end of each semester, so it is inevitable that the rejected teachers will have a chance to share their opinion of how the voice is progressing. It should not be allowed at any school, but rather the students should make the requests and/or a neutral person should let the student know which studios they have permission to join. Be careful and cautious about how you respond to any such invitations. If you chose this school, be sure that you word your response carefully, something along the lines of: "my current teacher teaches the same approach and recommends Prof. Q, and it is very comfortable for me to continue with this technique; or I know I need to study with a male/female/mezzo (or whatever your category might be)" so that the decision becomes less personal and more pedagogical. Good luck.</p>
<p>lorelei, thanks for the advice. Because of financial considerations I am likely leaning toward ccm but am a little reluctant because I have not heard any feedback on this website praising or recommending their program. Anybody?</p>
