<p>S2 who is very interested in guitar went to USC last year for the summer program. Any experiences with the Carnegie Mellon program. S is a junior in HS right now, very bright but not interested in studies and the guitar is his life, hence GPA is not too high.</p>

Pittsburgh is a great city (although we live in PA, we had never visited Pittsburgh until last summer. My daughter loved the program in her discipline, but she says she did not know many of the music kids.</p>
