Need a "safety" choice -- accomplished with the oboe

College Search & Selection

<p>My friend asked me to post this question</p>

<p>Her D, an "A" student, is an accomplished oboe player (is that the right term - player?). She will be applying to the following:</p>

<p>IU, Eastman, USC, Rice, New England Conservatory, possibly Boston U. Her private teacher still wants her to consider Juilliard. However, she did a workshop at Julliard this summer, but wasn't thrilled with the oboe instructor there.</p>

<p>However, she needs a safety. Money is not an object. She will be able to travel to go to any and all auditions.</p>

<p>Please make some suggestions. </p>

<p>Thanks in advance! :)</p>

<p>Is University of Rochester (Eastman Conservatory) the same as the Eastman that my friend's D has second on her list (which is on post 1)?</p>

<p>Sorry - yes, it is the same; read the post way too fast.</p>

<p>Rhodes College in Memphis has a fantastic music dept. A friend is a professor of English horn there; if they have a dedicated English horn teacher, they should also have a fabulous oboist!</p>

<p>Eastman is not a safety</p>
