Music School Admission – How to Get into Music School
Resume BuildingIn addition to the regular admissions application, most college and conservatory
programs require a supplemental application and recommendations - and the
all-important performance resume. There are four crucial areas to concentrate on
in building an impressive conservatory application - great teachers,
extra-curricular ensembles or theater productions, masterclasses and summer
workshops, and record keeping. But it's not just about resumes.SAMPLE
