Summer Program for student w/unusual background

<p>fiddlemom -- welcome to cc! I've got a couple of questions and your answers might help the combined wisdom on this board (and there is a LOT of it) help you out:</p>

<p>First of all, where is she auditioning, and does the piece she's currently preparing meet their audition requirements? Do you have a good sense of the competitiveness of the programs at these schools? Can your D's new teacher be helpful with suggesitons for summer programs? Is there a particular reason you're focused on the summer program option rather than more intensive one-on-one instruction to help her accelerate?</p>

<p>Good luck! My violinist daughter is a Junior, so we are at the beginning stages of this process.</p>
