As you embark or your music lessons journey to higher education in music, one crucial aspect of your application stands out: your letter of recommendation. You can pull of an acceptance to high level colleges, universities and conservatories. For those aspiring to attend college, whether Berklee, FSU, Stetson, Julliard or the Royal Academy, or applying for a job, a well-crafted letter of recommendation can make a world of difference.
Importance of Letters of Recommendation
A letter of recommendation serves as a window into your character, ability, and potential. In the realm of music, where technical prowess, artistic expression, and dedication are paramount, this letter holds even greater significance. Admissions committees seek insight into the applicant’s musical ability, work ethic, and passion for the craft. Therefore, as your teacher, I play an important part in your future career. I can endorse the compelling qualities you showcase and the potential you have as a musician, but I am not the only one who can offer such recommendations. Potentially everyone you meet could contribute to the success of your higher education and future career.

That’s why joining our Master Workshop is key to maximizing results, attracting other high-level musicians, and building a career that you can make a good living and find deep enjoyment.
