Does anyone have a DC at a junior department of a music conservatoire?
I'm deliberating hard over whether my DD should join in September or not (she will then be year 11 - so a possibility of 3 years there)
My decision points are around the amount of other stuff she'll necessarily have to give up to fit this in - all of her county music commitments for instance, but also about how much her music will 'crowd out' any other possiblities in her future career.
We are not yet decided on a music career - its between that and science (maybe medicine). We've had some good advice on the hardships of a music career from her teachers, so are up to speed on that, but I'm concerned that once we're on the JD track, there's no getitng off and she'sll just fall into music. And she wont have had the space in her timetable to gain all the work experience/volunteering she'd need to make a convinecing medicine/bio sciences application.
So if anyone has a DC who is at or did go to a JD and then did something different at uni, I'd be very grateful for input.
