The portfolio

Julia is auditioning for the Music Education Program.  She performed 3 classical songs in front of the judges 1 1/2 weeks ago (thanks Wendi for accompanying her).  Last week she had to turn in a portfolio.  It is stiff competition.  Her professor told the class that only 3 will make the program; no freshman ever has.  I think know Julia has a fighting chance to break that record.

The portfolio had several sections.  An application.  A letter of recommendation.  An evaluation.  A DVD of Julia singing a solo.  A DVD of Julia teaching a musical concept to a group of 3 or more for 10 minutes.  Two essays.  And a "Who am I" section.

Her essays rocked (thanks Christina and Erin for helping her edit them).

Her "All About Me" section was pretty neat too.  They wanted to know more about who Julia is as a person. 





The final part of this LONG and STRESSFUL application process is tomorrow - an interview.

Good Luck Jules!  You have so much to be grateful for.  So much talent to share.
