<p>Thanks BobJackson,</p>
<p>Plenty of good information in your words.</p>
<p>You probably have not read the entire thread but our daughter has been a member of NFA for several years and has attended the Convention and like you found it an excellent experience.</p>
<p>Alexa Still has said kind things about Christina Jennings(From Seattle area I think) who is taking over the program now that Alexa has left for NZ. Thanks for the info on Terri Sundberg, not sure if we have met her along the way but good to know she comes highly recommended. Thinking now is if she auditions in Texas it would be for Leone Buyse at Rice, but Texas isn't high on her list right now.</p>
<p>Our daughter has been fortunate to meet and or take class with a couple dozen or so name flute players/professors like Debost, Buyse, Langevin, Amsler, Cuehlo, Garner, Wincenc, Lloyd, WIBB, Larson, Schocker, etc. About all I can remember off the top of my head.</p>
<p>I do know she liked almost all of them. In fact she was so impressed with Wincenc she is considering putting Julliard back on her list even though we had scratched off NYC schools. But Julliard is such a long shot I doubt it makes the cut for expense of travel and audition reasons if nothing else. I beleive Carol Wincenc said they had 25 qualified applicants for Julliard(good enough to be in the program) out of the over 100 that auditioned but they only have 3 spots. So even if you are unbelievably good, you have to be lucky too when it comes to Julliard and Curtis.</p>
<p>Pleas keep posting anything new you can share and let us know how your decision making and auditioning goes. Hope we get to Pittsburgh to see the Flute Choir play.</p>
