We are currently looking into choir schools for DS (6), who is both extremely bright and extremely musical (takes after his mother, of course ). We are looking at both day and boarding choir schools - and I would really, really like to know what it's like to be a chorister parent at either type of school. I've never really considered boarding (I never even had my children looked after by anyone else for a single day until they went to school!!), but it would be nice to know what kind of child thrives in that environment.
I don't want this to turn into a debate about "to board or not to board" (especially as I gather the MN community regularly gets exercised about boarding); I would just like to hear other parents' experiences (whether it has worked for them, and why)!
