My daughter plays quite a few instruments. She has two primary instruments that get most of her attention, a few others that she plays well, and several more that she dabbles with when she has time. She also is a singer with a wide vocal range. Her heart lies with the violin, and that is the instrument she will pursue in college. She is currently in 9th grade and she and her violin teacher are working the plan to have her ready when it comes time for auditions. We have received varying responses from teachers about her ability and interest in multiple instruments. Some love that she is so involved musically and feel it is beneficial. Others have told her to focus on just the violin. She would like to continue some of her other musical interests in college, so we are looking for an environment that would be supportive of that. Do any of you know of any schools where someone with multiple musical interests would thrive? Which schools would discourage it? Any insight would be appreciated.
