Hi, just wondering if anyone has experience of the Hampshire Specialist Music Course?
The audition requirements look quite daunting.

The students are being prepared for careers in music, should they choose this path, so they need to be sure that it's what they really want to do. There is a lot expected of the HSMC students, but the students reach incredibly high standards

Thank you! Turns out DD got a place 😊 so I guess we'll find out! I'm hoping she'll be able to just do 3 A levels rather than 4 + EPQ, so can concentrate on music more.

Well done to your DD.

I am sure they will be happy to talk to you and her about options

It'll be fine - HSMC with three A-levels is the standard package for most students. She won't be expected to do more than is appropriate for her

And congratulations! It's a very prestigious course.

Thank you @Lemonsole that's very helpful. We do have a meeting in a couple of weeks but your comment is reassuring.
