<p>Does anybody know anything about this program? DD has decided on going to Europe this summer for two weeks (she's doing American Music Abroad for fun) which, of course, is two weeks that fall during the same days of many major festivals. The NYU workshop is only about four days long so if anyone knows: is it worth it (not in terms of cost but worthwhile experience), is it hard to get into (only requires an audition of two contrasting pieces) and without a major summer program under her belt can daughter be ready for auditions the following Spring? I mean you can't really know that but can just working with her private teacher be enough? </p>
<p>Does your daughter’s private teacher think she will be adequately prepared for next year without a rigorous summer program? If her private teacher has a track record of placing students where your daughter wants to be, follow his/her advice about how prepared your daughter </p>
