Having learned so much from @akapiratequeen 's thread for the previous class (and since it's that group's "Journey-versary"), it makes sense to start a thread for the next group of musicians! My hope is that we can duplicate the type of community that this year's group formed, complete with camaraderie and support offered by the knowledgeable and insightful parents on that page! Parents of current juniors, please tell us about your child and share your child's journey over the next year. This thread can be an amazing reference for all of us as we begin this process.
My S20 is a drummer (rock, jazz, pop) and is interested in film scoring as well. We are at the very beginning of our journey, so we have only looked at Berklee so far. The Berklee Professional Music major seems to be a great option since he can study performance and film scoring under one major, but we know enough to cast a wide net. He is our second child to go to college for performing arts. For our first child, we had the benefit of an audition coach. Fun fact: he applied to the 5-week Rock Workshop and we are currently awaiting results (due April 8th). Fingers crossed for that!
Would love to hear from others starting this journey. What is your kid's background, and what is s/he looking for? Have you done any tours? What are your impressions so far?
