there’s a teacher at my school who has a copy of the Declaration of Independence taped to his door. Seeing as it was my last day, I decided to steal it and replace it with a photo of Nick.

wordsoftheprophet asked: so i was looking through the mannes tag- and i saw you auditioned (which i hope went well!)! i was thinking about applying and auditioning there this fall, and i was really hoping you could tell me what it was like? i'm on violin though, so maybe it's different- but i am pretty much desperate for information on this school! it's my number one choice right now:)

Sure thing! Well, I applied to Mannes for vocal performance and have committed to going there in the fall!
I got the vibe from the school that it’s an excellent training place. Performance opportunities exist, but aren’t exactly a large part of the curriculum. However, I love the importance they place on musical academics (so to speak) like theory and ear training (etc). Also, the audition consisted of a theory test, dictation test, and interview/sight-singing portion followed by a singing (or in your case - playing) audition. I’d be happy to tell you anything else if you have questions. I am so excited for August until I get to start at Mannes! Best of luck!!

Best friends and sisters. I am the luckiest!
