I have to agree. Take every opportunity possible to improve yourself now. My daughter is back home after her first year at college. She is working nights at the local movie theatre and right now (she had a rare day shift today) she is going over the excepts for Beethoven's 6th. After that, she'll go back to the Copland. A never ending process. The first semester away really did a number on her, as she overextended herself a bit, but she settled in and pulled all As except for an A- in a psych class (she's a double major on top of everything else). She already has a pro-grade Bb and A, and a not-so-great Eefer, and she picked up a little bass this summer, too. She just acquired an alto sax at her boyfriend's family's gar(b)age sale last week. She's looking for a performance career, but she is doing the double degree to have something else to support her while going through all the auditioning to come.

The first year at music school can be a killer. Be as prepared as you possibly can.
