@kookie5, congratulations to your son on acceptance to Meadowmount!
My D23 daughter will be participating in the summerlong music program too and is happy to take a break after her somewhat intense (academically) Junior year. She is looking forward to just being immersed in making music and meeting likeminded musicians! She will have her “reading for pleasure” books and will start working on her essays and writing prompts for her admissions applications. From her previous summer music festival experience - they spent a lot of time rehearsing, practicing, socializing and attending performances. If you kid loves music - he will be enjoying it a lot! I think it is a good way to test the music-focused lifestyle too, because that is a “preview” of majoring in music in college. Better spend a summer and decide if it is a life he wants and would enjoy.
Hope it helps!
There is a separate thread:
I would ask others there for their feedback for this particular program, I am not very familiar with Meadowmount, since my D23 is a flute player. Good luck!
