My DGD, (who sews, so perhaps a *little* on topic) is a bassoonist who want to be a professional musician. This being her final year in high school, she is applying to colleges. She has been accepted to three local colleges, Carnegie Mellon, and UT Austin, plus the two at the top of her list, Oberlin and Juilliard.
Hard decision, she consulted her bassoon teacher and several other musicians, friends, family,....
Two days ago, she finally committed. Beginning this fall, she will be a Kovner Fellow at Juilliard.
