Our daughter has auditioned and has been accepted as a Music Major (Vocal Performance) at four schools; Belmont University, Shenandoah University Conservatory, Oklahoma City University and Susquehanna University. All of the schools have offered both academic and talent scholarships so now we are really trying to get some honest feedback on any of these schools. She has her favorite (Belmont) and we as parents want to make sure she is considering all of the pros and cons of each. All of the schools have offered scholarships but Belmont's offer is much lower than the others. As parents, we have a difficult time, as they say, leaving money on the table so we are just trying to determine if it is the best fit for her. She will be attending Belmont Day and has requested a lesson with a vocal professor to see if she clicks. Didn't really get the chance to interact with the faculties at the other schools except in the auditions. Shenandoah has scheduled an admitted students day for the day before Belmont Day but due to the distance between these schools, it's not possible for her to attend both. She would like to have numerous opportunities to perform throughout her four years and I have read that some of the schools only have a couple of performances a year and there are not many opportunities to audition for performances off campus. Any feedback is welcome. Thank You!
