My daughter will be applying to colleges as an MT major in the fall so I’ve been reading the MT threads on CC and have begun to realize how little we know about this. Can anyone explain to me how my daughter should prepare for her auditions? I gather there are coaches who prep students specifically for these auditions but I don’t know how to find a good one. She doesn’t have an acting coach or teacher. Would you recommend that she get one for help selecting appropriate monologues and preparing them? She takes voice lessons...are regular vocal coaches appropriate preparation or are there special “college audition” vocal coaches? What is music theory and do many schools test applicants on it (I know American does)? Is it better to go to each school for your audition or is it okay to go to unifieds? Do MT applicants need recommendations from vocal coaches, dance teachers, and directors in addition to academic teachers? The schools my daughter can get into academically are limited ( 3.0 GPA without many AP classes and no honors classes, 1140 SAT but she will take it again and will also take the ACT soon). Does anyone know of schools that she’d have a chance of getting accepted to that have strong MT programs? She loved Muhlenberg and Ithaca and is the border for getting in academically but she needs to apply to a lot more schools than that! Anything else that I don’t even know to ask?
