NYO 2022

[Musiccake]

My DS is preparing to apply for NYO.
He said the application form is quite hard to fill as so many questions to answer (Like mini essays for about 10 topics).
He just has started looking at the excerpts, also needs to upload contrasted pieces too. DS knows he is not good enough yet but as he is interested in NYO inspire too, he will give it a go!
It would be great to hear about either NYO or NYO inspire's experience.

He can’t apply next year as he’ll be too old and hopefully at a conservatoire by then. So it’s a now or never which makes it more stressful. I’d love him to have the opportunity.

I’ll keep everything crossed for him, and for forthcoming conservatoire auditions (I remember how stressful they were for me!!)

Ah thank you. Application deadline is 4 weeks away and he still hasn’t finalised where he’s applying! I’m hoping school will guide him through the process.

I’m assuming he’s at a specialist music school?
I wasn’t, but was at junior GSMD, so applied for the 3 big London ones and RNCM. I ended up staying in London for both undergrad and post grad.

Am I right in thinking the auditions are expensive these days?

He is at a specialist school-started last year in year 12. I think they are quite pricey and wants to apply for 2/3 London plus RNCM and probably RWCMD. I don’t think London will suit him and the cost of living there is ridiculous. I’d like him to go to RNCM but I guess it’s not my decision. It’s just my bloody bank account!

Sirius, my DH works, and is friends with ,a couple of the horn teachers at RWCMD, if you want to know anything (DS is at the JD, and DH studied there many moons ago, and knows the head, head of performance and the new year of wind).

Oh that’s great to know. I’ll see if he has any questions, thank you.

How did yesterday go, igetitigetit?

Results due tomorrow. Fingers crossed everyone

Hi. Does anyone know how we find out results?

Vijaycobes
We assumed that we would receive an email either way. Good luck to your young musician.

I’m assuming email. Hopefully soon.

Thanks all. Good luck to your dc 😍

My DC was unsuccessful sadly. I hope yours better luck!

Unsuccessful here too. As was his amazingly talented friend.

Commiserations, Sirius. Tough competition! I would think/hope my DC will ask for feedback.

Also unsuccessful 🙁. Commiserations everyone.

We haven't heard yet. Did you get an email?

Their loss hey? Standard must have been really high.

No news here yet 😬

I know my DDs friend hasn’t heard yet (or at least hadn’t about an hour ago)

Do they send emails out by section? In alphabetical order? Tbh our hopes weren’t high but would be good to know. Not sure DS is aware they come out today.

Anyone had violin results yet? May not get them
Tonight at this rate!?

Hi. I hope your DC took the news ok. There’s always next year to try again. 😌
